  • Oops missed this one. Love quizzes too. Husband and I walked the Coast 2 Coast one year camping at the Lion at Blakey. There was a quiz going on and having palled up with another two walkers on the way we decided to have a go amongst the pub full of regulars. We won!

    Solstice last year was 22nd. Was there an option to vote for both days?

  • Thanks for the pin badge! I shall wear it with gratitude that currently I'm NED 

  • Hi  

    I’m Steph, I’m part of the Community team here at Macmillan. I am sorry for the delay in responding, I'm afraid we weren't notified of your comment.

    May I wish you another warm welcome to the Community. Although I’m sure it’s a membership you did not want to have to join, I hope you will find the site to be a safe place of comfort and support.

    I am sorry that you have had cancer twice and that you’re still having some trouble with incontinence. It’s positive that you’re looking to speak to people in similar circumstances and I hope we can help support you.

    Whenever you feel comfortable, I’d encourage you to join one of the forums and post your message so that members can offer you some support.

    You can find all our cancer type forums here or introduce yourself in the New to the Community forum and someone will be along to help.

    If you’re not sure how to start your own conversation, you just need to click on +new (or + on a mobile) on the forum you’d like to post in. There’s some help available here if you get stuck, or message us back and we’ll support you further. The Community team are all here to help when you need it.

    We also have a Macmillan Support Line if you want to talk things through with someone who is there to listen.  Our Support Line teams are available 7 days a week, 8am-8pm on freephone 0808 808 00 00email or live webchat.

    We have some information about bladder and bowel changes after treatment here, in case it helps you or anyone else reading this.

    Please do let us know if you have any questions or need further support with anything at all. 

  • Hi  

    I'm so so sorry, we missed your comment too! We are checking what has happened to the notifications.

    Love your story about winning the quiz, I bet the locals weren't happy...We hope to offer another quiz soon, as this one has been so popular.

    We accepted the 21st and the 22nd as the answer to the solstice question, as at the time of writing, both dates were being reported as the shortest day.
