Are you looking for some hope?

It can be a challenge to feel hopeful during a difficult time so in today’s blog, we are sharing lots of hope from the Community. Although some members may not feel very hopeful with their personal circumstances, we hope the following will offer some reassurance, inspiration and positivity.

The word hope was used 1846 times on the Community last month. In a short space of time, it shows how often people come to the Community to find and offer reassurance and hope when facing difficult times.

Dealing with the uncertainty of cancer can induce a hopelessness feeling. You may be worried that your treatment might not work and fear what the future may bring. It’s not uncommon to feel this way you are not alone. 

If your hopeless feelings are getting stronger and you are struggling to cope, it may be time to speak to a professional. The Macmillan Support Line has teams on hand to offer support every day from 8am to 8pm. Get in touch by calling 0808 808 00 00 today. 

Posting in our Community forums can provide comfort when you are worried as there’s people close by willing to help and support you through the same journey they have experienced. Even if you need a place to express how you are feeling or ask questions, we are glad you have found the Community.
