What Acts of kindness and moments of support made a difference to your cancer journey? We want to hear from you.
Cancer is one of the toughest things someone can go through. When cancer shows up, silence often follows. This is something Community members have called Cancer ghosting, and we explore this experience more in the Cancer ghosting blog.
People living with cancer tell us they don't want to be a burden but still need support. Sometimes loved ones, friends and colleagues can struggle to find the right words to say and not know how to best support you.
We are asking you what your family and friends have done to show they care and be supportive. No matter how small or thoughtful the moments of support may be, sharing the meaningful acts of kindness may provide some useful suggestions to those who want to help, but may not know how.
We will feature some of your suggestions in an upcoming Community News Blog, but this thread will remain a useful resource for anyone who needs it.
Thank you in advance for sharing your experiences. If you have any questions, would like to be a guest blogger to share your individual story, or need additional support, please email community@macmillan.org.uk or send a private message to the Moderator account, and we will be happy to help.
Best wishes,

Random acts of kindness from strangers show the kindness in people. So glad to hear the Awake all night discussion has been a source of support for you.
Happy Birthday for tomorrow

When I was diagnosed on 7th July my lovely young neighbour opposite ordered flowers for me along with a lovely note 
That is so lovely Leglessghirl . Thank you for sharing! 
Did you ever ask your neighbours for support after they sent you this lovely message and flowers?

Hi KrisPy
Thank you for sharing the lovely ways the people around you supported you. It's good that you were able to be honest when people asked you how you were coping. How thoughtful of a family friend to include you in their holiday.
Best wishes,
