    Relationships, sex and cancer - support from Macmillan's Online Community
    In this Community News blog we will be exploring how cancer can affect relationships, love and intimacy. Whether you have been together for a long time, in a new relationship or considering dating, there is support available for you. Some people find it helps to talk to other people who are in a similar situation. Members of Macmillan's Online Community have been supporting one another with experiences of cancer, love, sex and relationships.

    February Already! Dal's Journey continues

    I just wanted to drop in, it is important for me to remind myself why I started this blog and why writing something down every now and then ensures that as the weeks and months pass, something holds for me all the smaller memories that slip aside to make room for other things

    Oncologist is very happy with where Dal is at present, there have been no major changes to his statistics being...
