Hi WendyH,

It’s Megan here from Macmillan’s Online Community team. I’d like to wish you a warm welcome to the site. I hope you’ll find connecting with others with similar cancer experiences to be a comforting source of support.

If you’d like to share a little more information about your situation and what’s brought you to join our Online Community, we can help you find the relevant support.

Members tend to share details of their cancer experience in their profile and update this as their situation changes. This is so others know what brings you to the site, and how they may be able to help. It also means that you are not having to repeat your experience with each post you write on the site.

To help you update your profile, there are some step by step instructions on this Help page.

Please remember that alongside accessing peer to peer support here on the Community, the Macmillan Support Line teams are also here for you. Sometimes it can help to talk things through with someone who’s there to listen. They’re available 7 days a week, 8am-8pm on freephone 0808 808 00 00, email or live webchat.

If there is anything the Online Community Team can do to help you use the site and find additional support, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us by emailing Community@macmillan.org.uk or send a private message to the Moderator account.
