    Coping on Mother's Day - some support from the Community

    A image of pink tulip blooms, with some small blue forget-me-not type flowers

    This Sunday, it’s Mother’s Day in the UK, so in this Community News Blog we’re taking some time to celebrate and remember mums. We're also sending out a big virtual hug to anyone who finds the celebration a difficult time to get through.

    We know that Mother’s Day can be particularly tough for those who can't see their mum, or other loved ones, for many different reasons. The Community is here for you if you need emotional support.

    For those who have lost a child, lost...

    Community in Bloom

    A field with white flowers and a bright sun in the background

    We’re starting to see the first signs of spring and welcoming the brighter evenings. You may remember the ‘Winter picture festival’ that was featured on the Community cancer forum at the end of last year but because we received such great feedback from members that took part, and others who loved seeing the pictures posted, we have decided to launch our very own ‘Community in bloom’. This will be featured in our Express yourself group so please do join and get involved...

    Cancer & me 35 years on - International Women's day

    International Women's Day written next to a photo of Willo on the fourth plinth on Trafalgar Square surrounded by her art.

    Today marks international women’s day, a day where we celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. It is also a day to highlight women’s issues and rally for gender equality. Here at Macmillan we are dedicated to supporting anyone who has been affected by cancer and champion for better cancer support for all. Hearing and listening to the experiences of everyone is vital in doing this.

    In honour of International Women’s day, we are pleased to bring you...

    A new exciting procedure....
    Two days to go. I'm having problems with my NG Tube. Before you can get food and drugs through it, the acid levels in the stomach need to be 5 or below. Mine are constantly 7 and above. This means that the tube could have become misplaced. Added ...

    Loosing my identity...I’m not just my cancer!

    Stuck On The Treadmill
    When you look at a Hamster spinning on the treadwheel you wonder if it’s too stupid to get off. They seem to exhaust themselves, take a rest on the wheel and then have another go. So it seems like with my treatment. Not that I am too stupid to ...

    #1 The Cupboard Call
    I'll add some back story later, but let's start with 'the moment'. This was the day the word 'malignant' went on overdrive in one of the crappiest ways possible.  Having been back in school teaching for 2 1/2 days after self-isolating I was star...

    The new normal, sharing secrets?
    We’ve all just settled into our routines now. The boys are used to me having no energy and disappearing for a nap, as well as the weekly trips to drop me off for my treatment. I’m so proud at how they have just accepted it as part of thei...
