Macmillan Cancer Support - Cancer Information Centre
Macmillan is a source of practical, emotional and financial support, helping with all the things people affected by cancer want and need, and a force for change, pushing for better cancer care.
Being told 'you have cancer' can affect so much more than your health - it can also affect your family, your job, even your ability to pay the bills. But you're still you. We get that. And, after over 100 years of helping people through cancer, we get what's most important: that you're treated as a person, not just a patient.
It's why we'll take the time to understand you and all that matters to you, so we can help you get the support you need to take care of your health, protect your personal relationships and deal with money and work worries.
The information we offer includes:
- links to local and national support services
- signposting to self help and support groups
- access to support group provisions managed by centre staff
- plus many more
