Macmillan what do they do ?

Hi Honey1972,

We can send you some information about our support services and I’m sure others will share their experiences of accessing Macmillan Support with you.

If you’d like to get in touch to discuss your concerns further with our feedback team, you are very welcome to do so by filling in our feedback form.

Best wishes,

My daughter was diagnosed a couple of days ago and there was a Macmillan nurse with the consultant and she chatted to my daughter afterwards and gave her a lot of information. Then she phoned today to see how the family were coping and to answer their questions and talk through the treatment plan. My friend had the same experience a couple of years ago when she was diagnosed with cancer. 

In both cases the Macmillan nurses are part of the hospital team and are hugely supportive so I'm sorry it wasn't available to your parents and mother in law. Hope. Maybe it's a service which wasn't universally available in 2016 and 2017 but I hope it is now because it really is helping the whole family   

Yes this forum is the only time I've heard of Macmillan as well over the last 4 months I've just asked hubbie and he says he hasn't seen anyone either. 

Thanks Rara , glad it's not just me. My mum had another scan a few weeks ago and found another spot on her lung and we have been told the consultant will ring in a few weeks about the next steps. So here we are alone again just scared and anxiously waiting. Xx take care
