Hi Bevjayne
It’s Megan here from Macmillan’s Online Community team. I’m sorry to jump into the conversation, you’ve had a lovely supportive reply which I hope has been helpful. Thank you Djct for offering some support. The link you have found is for an older page, so I wanted to share a link to a more recent page which has some updated information.
The Cost of living - support for people with cancer blog has some useful information about the financial support available. I hope this can be useful to you both and please do get in touch if there’s anything else we can do to help.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
