Bowel cancer is at the forefront of the news currently in a way that it has never been before . Apart from hopefully alerting people to make contact with their GP who may identify symptoms , it also highlights other needs of people after diagnosis, during treatment and after cancer treatment ends . How to take care of your mental health throughout this process .
It seems a relevant time to highlight Macmillan has teamed up with Bupa to offer six free counselling sessions . If you would benefit from this 0808 808 0000.will provide more information.
Also out helpline staff are available to talk through the emotional aspects of being diagnosed. Any concerns you may face from financial through to the physical aspects of having treatment.
Macmillan has telephone buddies , email contact etc . Please if you feel any of this would be of assistance to you reach out .
And of course there are the wonderful participants on this forum who take very good care of each other .
Blamelouis has just shared on another post a Dr highlighting the need to address the “mind” aspect of going through treatment .
Take care and have the best day you can ,
