Lanarkshire Cancer Care Trust
To continue with my " I have sent you nothing but angels" theme although only for patients who live in South Lanarkshire:
I would have found it costly and difficult to get to Monklands Beatson centre from home the other side of the M74 for my radio/chemotherapy treatment were it not for the service provided by the Lanarkshire Cancer Care Trust based in Wishaw.
The LCCT is a local charity helping cancer patients all over Lanarkshire by giving them transport when they need it to visit hospital for treatments and appointments. Their web site is at www.lcctdrivers.com
The staff are angels as are the volunteer drivers most of whom I found out over 5 weeks of transporting had joined up as a result of cancer visiting their families. A kind of peer ministry on the road.
I cannot speak highly enough about the caring service they provide.
As a charity there is no payment required to use the service but once you have experienced it you will be looking for the donate button on their web site.
I am looking forward to catching up with one of the drivers who took me back and forward a few times to continue our conversations about spirituality and how it works in practice
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
