About Us
Supporting patients through the side effects of Chemotherapy.
Chemocare bags was first launched when trustee/founders Olivia and Emma's dad/husband was diagnosed with stage three bowel cancer at only forty-five years old. After witnessing him going through some of the unpleasant side effects of chemotherapy they felt they wanted to support others who may be going through the same experience.
This is where the idea of Chemocare Bags was born!
