  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear that you are having money problems.

    Can I highly recommend our various Macmillan Support Line Services - you can call them free on 0808 808 00 00 This service covers Financial Support also Practical Information and Clinical Information mostly open 8.00 to 8.00 but check the link.

    A cancer diagnosis can bring a lot of stress, confusion and many questions but talking with people who are on the same journey can help a lot so can I also highlight this link to our very supportive Kidney cancer group as this will open up your concerns to a wider audience who know exactly what you are going through at the moment.

    To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post questions after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    Talking to people face to face can help a lot so check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area or a Maggie’s Centre as these folks are amazing.

    You may want to put some information in your profile can help a lot Click here to see how to add details as this helps everyone to see a little about you

    All the very best.
