You’ll see a poll below this post, where you can vote for what you like best.
Currently, when you go to your group, you see a list of discussion titles. This is shown in picture A below...
On 29th July, we launched an upgrade of our Community site. The changes we have made are to ensure that the Community is working on a much more stable platform so that our users encounter less technical issues and that we can grow and develop the Community in a safe and well-supported way.
We are not where we had hoped to be since launching the upgrade. We are working through a list of bugs and issues which we did not expect to see and these are taking much longer to resolve than we had hoped.

Hi everyone,
Due to some planned maintenance on the main Macmillan website, www.macmillan.org.uk, the Online Community will enter a read-only mode between 6:00am and 10:00am on Thursday 10th September.

We are really pleased to be back this autumn with another instalment of our ‘Dining with an Ostomate’ series. Today we are sharing Debbie’s recipe for golden goats’ cheese, beetroot and squash salad. Debbie is our wonderful ‘chef to Ostomates’ and all of her recipes are, of course, designed with Ostomates in mind.

It’s been 6 years since my treatment began now. I’ve just had a check up and my consultant was happy with everything.
I still have 6 monthly checkups because of the patch of osteoradionecrosis on my lower left jaw.
