Can someone explain what help exactly Macmillan are supposed to give and to who?  My mum dies at home in 2006, where were MacMillan?  I was diagnosed with cancer in 2007, where are Macmillan?   I had a recurrence in December 2011, where were Macmillan.  My Dad's been given a terminal diagnoses, where are Macmillan?  People say the NHS is a postcode lottery, so obviously is Macmillan - or maybe its just if your face fits???? Help with claiming benefits - nope, practical help - nope WHAT EXACTLY IS IT YOU DO DO - according to the TV adverts loads - just nohelp from anyone for  this family.
