Blogging can be a great way to journal your experiences and share with others. Why not create your own cancer journey blog, or have a read of other blogs created by our members?
Unsure how to get started? Take a look at our help pages on blogs.
This blog is looking at how our Community members process the news of a cancer diagnosis. Some mourn and grieve for the life they once knew before being impacted by cancer and some find comfort from having the answers they may have been waiting a long time for. However you are feeling, you're not alone. There's others talking about how they they are coping here on the Community so stay and read this blog to hopefully draw some comfort from these shared experiences.
Do you find yourself mourning...
We know from our Online Community that dealing with cancer can be overwhelming. People with cancer and their family members, or loved ones, often look for emotional support and practical advice or ways to get involved with others for cancer support online.
With Macmillan’s Online Community, you have come to the right place to talk to others who understand. Here you can find peer support and talk to other people with real lived cancer experience.
But where do you start?
In today’s Community...
There is some planned maintenance taking place on Macmillan’s website on Thursday 21st July, from 7am-10am.
So that this essential maintenance can take place, the Online Community will experience some downtime. This means that members will not be able to log in, or join the Online Community, between 7am - 9am On Thursday 18th August 2022.
We know how important the Community is as a source of support for our members, so we always do our best to ensure the site is not unavailable for any longer...
When you first join the Community, supporting others might be the last thing on your mind.
You might have just received a cancer diagnosis, feeling alone and fearful of what lies ahead. You might be reeling with news of a loved one’s diagnosis and not sure how you’ll cope. You might be struggling with cancer treatment and just want someone to talk to in the middle of the night.
Although finding support might be your initial need, you might be surprised to find that by simply posting here...
