Over the years, with your help,
the Cobalt Appeal has been able to support the NHS with
£-millions worth of equipment and services to
enhance the lives of cancer patients. Our work continues
. . . . Please keep up your wonderful efforts - every
single penny makes a difference.
We have designed this website around
six main topics to provide help and advice for you.
Cobalt Home
& Fundraising provide
information on our history, how your money has been
spent, news on upcoming events and ways you can get
involved and help the charity to continue to benefit
patients, friends and relatives.
Cancer Prevention
has pages on all the main cancers, and advice on Awareness
and Prevention. We have also placed our factsheets on
these pages for additional information. Please do not
hesitate to contact us for more advice.
PET-CT &
CT gives information on this new state-of-the-art
scanner which will be vital in the future fight against
cancer and certain neurological conditions.
MRI is
split into two sections. The patient
pages give advice on having a scan, what it is like,
how it works and how it can help. The health
professional pages explain more about our service
and equipment, how we work and future developments.
Both sections show examples of MRI images.
We hope you will find our site useful.
Grateful thanks to all the
people who have helped with what we hope you will consider
to be an informative and helpful site. In particular
to Nicola Sykes and Karen Hackling-Searle from the Cobalt
Unit and Richard Hopkins and William Chubb from UK Medical
Professionals who have put so much effort and personal
time into developing our website. And many thanks to
Philips, The Citizen, The Echo, The Stroud and Journal
for kindly allowing us the use of their photos.
