Macmillan are committed to making cancer care fairer for everyone. This includes making sure that everyone has access to the right cancer support and encouraging people to seek help sooner.
We know that people from farming and rural communities aren't always accessing the cancer support that they need.
We want to make sure that the support available in our Online Community reaches everyone who needs it.
To start the conversation, we have asked people from Farming Community Network what they wish they had known when they have been affected by cancer. You can read what they have said in our Community News Blog:
What you wish you had known. Cancer and farming communities
We'd like to keep the conversation going, so you can connect with others who understand the unique challenges of cancer and farming or rural life.
Please do use this conversation thread to introduce yourself, ask questions and share your experience and support each other.
Hi AB4 ,
It's Emma here from the Online Community Team. Thanks so much for sharing your experience, this is really helpful insight and I'm glad your Dad was able to find some people who better understood his situation.
It would be interesting to know what it was that made your Dad feel understood or that he could open up to them.
Similarly, did you come across any opportunities for support that your Dad would have joined aside from reflexology and holistic services etc?
Take care,
Emma (she/her)
