CANCER services at Dorset County Hospital are set for another major boost after a charitable trust pledges a whopping £250,000. The hospital will receive a significant boost to its cancer services over the next two years following Fortuneswell Cancer Trust s generous donation. While charities have struggled to raise funds in the pandemic, the trust has been able to make the huge donation and said its income has held up well . The trust have said that the money pledged will be split into a number of areas, with £130,000 earmarked to fund a nurse to operate a chemotherapy at home service. It is hoped that this will enable suitable patients to receive their treatment at, or closer to their homes - helping patients who are very unwell avoid travel. The trust said that it hopes to fund the service indefinitely, but that this will depend on the level of income that it can raise in the future.
