I can't help but notice how different my support is from when my husband had lung cancer. There are several charities and of course this month means pink seems everywhere.
It was very different the reaction he got from others, such as blaming him.
It's such a shame that there seems to be a hierarchy around whether someone is deserving help.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
