Anxiety

Hi again Poggles anxiety can be such a challenge when navigating the blood cancer journey.

Here are a few suggestions where you can get some support.

It’s a challenging time for you so you may want to use the Macmillan Support Line is open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00 or via Webchat and Email too. This service provide cancer information, practical information, emotional support, benefits/financial guidance or just a listening ear. We also have our Ask an Expert section but do allow a few working days for a reply.

For good information do check out Leukaemia Care UK who produce very good information and run various support platforms including their Buddy Scheme, they also have a Support Line on 08088 010 444

Talking to people face to face can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing.

Macmillan have also teamed up with Bupa to offer up to 6 free counselling sessions for people struggling emotionally because they are living with cancer. Clicking on the link will give you more information about this.

Thank you Highlander for your words of support. I will look into this .

Hey! I wanted to chime in on the topic of anxiety and CML (Chronic Myeloid Leukemia). Dealing with anxiety can be tough, especially when managing a health condition. It's essential to have a support system in place. If anyone ever needs someone to talk to or guidance during anxious moments, don't forget there are anxiety hotlines available. They can offer a listening ear and helpful resources. Remember, you're not alone in this journey. Take care and stay strong!
