My Cancer My Choices

Wellness and Fitness Services

A Berkshire based charity providing complementary therapies, from specialist therapists, to people with cancer.

About us

We believe everyone with cancer should have access, from diagnosis, to complementary therapies that enhance their wellbeing and keep them in control of their journey. Our dedicated team of over 70 volunteers enables us to offer one to one treatments of acupuncture, massage, reiki and reflexology and run group courses of mindfulness and yoga for cancer patients. My Cancer My Choices offers 6 free one-to-one treatments, (voluntary donations appreciated), to anyone just diagnosed with cancer, undergoing active treatment or within 6 months of finishing treatment, making it affordable and accessible for everyone. Complementary therapy can make the cancer journey easier by encouraging relaxation, reducing stress and alleviating some of the side affects of cancer treatment, such as hot flushes, pain and nausea.

  • 🌟 Anne, YOU DID IT! 🎉🏊♀️ 🌟 Back in September, Anne Thomas set herself a HUGE challenge—swimming 70 lengths, 70 times before her 70th birthday in June 2025 to raise funds for My Cancer My Choices. And guess what? She just smashed it THREE MONTHS EARLY! 🤯💙 That’s 123km, 70 swims, and countless hours of pure dedication—all to support people living with cancer. Anne, we are in absolute awe of your determination, energy, and heart. What an incredible achievement! 💪✨ Now, let’s help Anne smash her fundraising goal too! She set out to raise £1,800, and with your support, we know she can go even further.
