Hello new member 

glad to of found this page hopefully will help me understand a few things I will post in the correct part I think  

also hello everyone  

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community although I am so sorry to hear about your cancer diagnosis.

    A cancer journey can be so stressful and challenging in many ways but I do hope you find the community a safe place to get support and ask your questions.

    The New to Community is like our reception desk where you can be signpost to our various cancer support groups and other services.

    I do see you have joined and put up a post in our Head and neck cancer group. This will be a safe place to talk to others who may have a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.

    The Macmillan Support Line is open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00 or via Webchat and Email too. This service provides cancer information, practical information, emotional support, benefits/financial guidance or just a listening ear.

    You may also find our Cancer Nurse Team in our Ask an Expert section helpful but do allow a few working days for a reply.

    Talking to people face to face when on a cancer journey (patient or family) can be very helpful but during these strange times it’s not that available but do check to see if any Local Macmillan Support in your area has opened up. Do also check out for a local Maggie's Centre in your area as these folks are amazing and provide support for all the family.

    Always around if you need further help in navigating the community.

    All the very best.
