Hi I have just been diagnosed with throat cancer is there any grants available to help with travel expenses as I live in Coventry and all appointments are in Birmingham thanks in advance
Sorry to see you here with us. There is lots of help and lived experience here so do stay and tell us more about yourself.
PS. This forum is pretty quiet. The head and neck cancer one is much busier so do introduce yourself there if you feel up to it
Hi Versa
I hope you've found the information Beesuit shared to be helpful.
Please do come back and let us know how you get on. We'd also encourage you to join the head and neck cancer forum where you will find a really friendly group of people.
I just popped in to let you know I responded to your post here with some additional information.
I thought I would share the additional information here too, in case it might be useful for others looking for help with transport to hospital,
Macmillan have this information about transport and parking which might be helpful to have a read through.
As you mentioned you're travelling to Birmingham, this information about patient transport from Birmingham and Solihull NHS Trust might be relevant.
Macmillan offer more information about benefits and financial support when you have cancer.
I'd also encourage you to contact the Macmillan Support Line to talk things through and find support with all your questions. Our Support Line teams are available 7 days a week, 8am-8pm on freephone 0808 808 00 00, email or live webchat.
