Hello Loons
Thank you for getting in touch with us. How are things? In addition to the online community, you’d be welcome to get in touch with us on our freephone support line 0808 808 00 00 or our online webchat service. Both are open 8am -8pm seven days a week. We will provide you a space to talk things through and express how you are feeling.
We also have a team of cancer information nurses if you need any medical guidance, and a money advice service who can provide guidance about any financial help. There might also be local face to face support which you can find here.
In terms of critical illness cover, unfortunately we are unable to recommend insurers. It might be worth getting in touch with the British Insurers Brokers Association (BIBA). They might be able to suggest insurers who can provide cover.
Please do stay in touch with us Loons.
