Hi
My partner & myself are in a quandary & need some help dealing with social services & the local council, on 2 different issues. I have been advised by my phone buddy to seek help from Macmilliam. I have been treated for Occular Melanoma & I am due to have a CT scan on my liver on this Thursday as some lesions have been found there after my ultrasound.
I'm not sure if there is anybody that will be able to help with the issues we are having as they are not really cancer related, but affect a cancer sufferer.
Thanks
Sally
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to read that you're currently being treated for ocular melanoma and that on top of this you have problems with social services and your local council.
Although not directly what you've asked, you may like to join the Eye cancer forum as this will give you the opportunity to talk to others who have the same type of cancer as yourself.
To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'click to join' on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post questions after selecting '+New' or '+' (depending on the device you're using) and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
If you want to speak to one of the Macmillan advisors about your problems with the council and social services you can phone them on 0808 808 0000. The support line is open every day from 8am to 8pm and it's free to call. Clicking here will give you more information on what the Support Line offers. Alternatively, if it's easier for you then you can email them or use the online chat.
When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
