Balaich a' Bruidhinn/Cancer Club
Documentary looking at the Hebridean Men's Cancer Club, a support group for men living with cancer on the Isle of Lewis.
Tha m貌ran againn mar as trice a' feuchainn ri seachnadh bruidhinn mu dheidhinn : Aillse. Ach aig cridhe aon de na coimhearsnachdan as traidiseanta a th'ann tha gluasad iongantach air tachairt.
Ann am bothan beag ann an Ste貌rnabhagh air eilean Le貌dhais, tha buidheann sh貌nraichte de fhir a-mh脿in a' d猫anamh rud ris nach biodh tu an d霉il idir. Tha iad a' bruidhinn gu fosgailte - mu Aillse.
Ann am Balaich a' Bruidhinn tha sinn a' dol a-steach aig an 脿m airson str霉pag leis a' bhuidhinn bhuadhail bhrosnachail seo - Buidheann Taic Aillse nan Innse Gall, no mar as fhe脿rr a dh' aithnichear - an 'Cancer Club.'
Gach seachdain cluinnear g脿ire 's craic a' s矛oladh bhon togalach, le c貌mhraidhean mu iomadach cuspair rin cluinntinn, bho t矛 is c猫ic gu beatha is b脿s. Tha e na sholas san dorchadas nuair a tha c霉isean f矛or dhuilich. 脌ite far am faighear c脿irdeas, co-fhaireachdainn agus taic. Far am faigh f矛r cothrom fois fhaighinn nan d霉bhlain dhorcha le Aillse.
Thathar a' tuigsinn gur e seo an aon buidheann taic aillse son fir ann an Alba, agus tha iadsan le e貌las pearsanta a' toirt comhairle agus taic dha an cuid ch脿irdean aig gach 矛re dhe na d霉bhlain aca. Cluinnear sgeulachd cuid mu mar a dh猫ilig iad leis, agus gu cudromach, cluinnear mun ph脿irt riatanach a bh' aig an cuid companaich.
Cancer Club - sgeulachd dhr霉idhteach, mhisneachail ris nach s霉ileachadh tu mu ch脿irdeas am measg fir Le貌dhais.
It's the word that many of us avoid. The C-Word: cancer. But at the heart of Scotland's most traditional community something remarkable is happening.
In a small Stornoway prefab on the Isle of Lewis, a one-of-a-kind, all-blokes group is turning stereotype on its head and opening up about cancer.
This programme plunges into teatime at this life-affirming group, known officially as the Hebridean Men's Cancer Club and informally as Cancer Club. Each week, the babble of banter seeps out and down the street, chat ranging from tea and cake to life and death. Its a beacon of light - and laughter - when times are hard. A place of empathy, kinship and support, where men can take a breather on their journeys with cancer.
Believed to be the only all-male cancer support group in Scotland, those with personal experience offer advice and support to comrades at all stages of their journey. We hear the journey of some of the men and how they coped with cancer, as well as the vital role of their partners.
Cancer Club - a moving and inspiring story of unexpected brotherhood amongst Lewis men.
