https://screwcancercharity.com/our-mission I had this app pointed out to me at a Heads2gether meeting as being very useful as you can have all your phone numbers stored in one place and one touch away, I haven't used it but would think it very useful when starting out on your journey with cancer and for the first year or so when you need to get in touch with all the professionals that you deal with.

    Hi , I haven’t clicked on the link yet but I’ve been using the free Macmillan app for the last 4 years to keep my appointments in, and notes for questions I want to ask, and hospital names and numbers. I thought it might be worth a link as well.

    Best wishes

  • No problem as anything that makes life easier at the start especially as got to be a bonus, I found that the only way to get hold of anyone was to phone my Macmillan nurse and she would sort it, we had numbers on bits of paper but found that most of the time they never answered.

    I agree with you , anything to make life easier.

    I have a big folder full of my hospital notes scraps of paper and hospital business cards given out. Always needed the 24 hour number and warning card on me in case of emergencies. But found the phone app for dates put things into my phone calendar as well if I wanted it to.

    I don’t use the Mac app now as I signed up for my hospital’s MyChart app in January. It has all my hospital appointments in the app as the hospital makes them, and a message link for non urgent questions, and a test results section to view blood test and scan results.
