Just want to say a word for the Macmillan coaching scheme. I took part in it earlier this year and was really worthwhile, combination of counselling and lifestyle tips and not intrusive.

In my own case, due to some complications post surgery I only finally started to get things together about a year ago. The coaching sessions helped me get my experiences into perspective and learn to live with them rather than fear. Yes, I still get moments of anxiety, but I live a more fuller life.

Hi Ianw I just dropped by and noticed that you've not had a reply to your post. I'm so glad that Macmillan Coaching Scheme was helpful to you.

I thought I'd advise members who may be interested that Macmillan Well-being Coaching Service is temporarily closed for new applications so I've copied below from the Web page.

We've had huge demand for our Well-being Coaching service. We're currently at capacity and are not able to take any more referrals now.

Here are some other services that may be useful if you need support now:

Call the Macmillan Support Line on 0808 808 00 00, 7 days a week, 8am to 8pm. You can also use the web chat. They can provide clinical, practical and financial information.
Email our Mobile Information and Support staff on mobileteam@macmillan.org.uk and they can provide information about local services and support.
To keep everyone safe, we have stopped all our face-to-face volunteering. But if you need someone to talk to, you can sign up for our new Telephone Buddies service.
You can now make a virtual appointment with our No7 Boots Macmillan Beauty Advisors. They can give make-up and skincare advice to help you manage visible side effects of cancer treatment.
To help you stay fit and healthy during the coronavirus crisis, we've launched SafeFit. This is a free remote service that connects you with a cancer exercise specialist.
Macmillan are currently offering a well-being service in collaboration with BUPA health. You can refer yourself into this service by calling Macmillan Support line on 0808 808 00 00. Our colleagues on the support line will listen to you and your needs and may refer you for an emotional wellbeing assessment.

Best wishes, B x
