I was looking for the group for carers and family of people with Oesophagus cancer, but I don't know how to find the right groups? This site isn't that easy to use, even for a 40 year old.
Can someone tell me the group names I should be looking for please? Thank you
Hi and welcome to the Online Community, a Community that no one ever really plans to see themselves joining.
The Community takes a little time to ‘get’ the navigation but you will find some great support available.
Talking with other people who are on the same type of journey helps a lot.
The Community has various support groups and I see you have found and joined our supportive Gullet (oesophagus) cancerrain tumour group,
This is the place where you will connect with others walking the treatment journey both as patient or family.
Follow the link I've created above then you can introduce yourself and post questions selecting '+New' or '+' (depending on your device) you can also join in with existing discussions by clicking on 'reply'.
You may also find our Carers only, Family and friends groups a great benefit as you will connect with others supporting family through their cancer journey...... this is the full list for all our Cancer experience groups.
The Macmillan Support Services provides lots of information and support. The service is open every day 8am to 8pm and it's free to call on 0808 808 00 00 have a look by Clicking here for more information.
You can also email them, use the online chat and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.
Our Online Information and Support Section is a good place to find information covering diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers.
