  • Hi  and warm welcome to the Macmillan Online Community although sorry that you had to find us but good to see you are post treatments.

    The post cancer treatment path can bring many questions, some confusion and lots of stress but talking with others who are walking the same type of journey will help you navigate this challenging time.

    The Community is organised into dedicated support groups so can I recommend you join our supportive Lung Cancer group or even our general Life after cancer group, these will be good places to connect with patients navigating the post cancer journey.

    To join a group just click on the link above then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens.

    You can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘New Thread’ or hit the box with the X on the top right (phones), you could just copy and paste the text from this your first post. You can also join in with existing ‘Discussions’ by clicking on 'reply'. 

    It’s always good to talk and the Macmillan Support Services provides lots of information, support, financial guidance or just a listening ear.

    Most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week and it's free to call on 0808 808 00 00 have a look by Clicking here to see what is available and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.

    All the very best
