I’ve recently been attending the MacMillan hope course . It’s worth looking to see if there is one running at your cancer center .
I’ve met other people and the course covers things like fatigue ,goal setting . Reoccurrence . Takes place over 6 weeks . I’ve been suffering since I came to the end of treatment and it’s been good to get out and meet other people who understand what I’ve been going through .
Hello Sweets_69 I am aware of the Hope Course and it's benefits and am so pleased that you found it to be a benefit - in fact so much so that you have taken the time to mention it to other forum members.
For anyone else interested in this type of support - here's the link to the course:

Thank you for posting about this - if anyone needs any further details or information regarding the Course or any additional help please don't hesitate to contact me.
Best wishes - Brian.

Hi. I'm new here
Just clicked on the link for the course, and it says it's an online course.
How do I find out whether there is an in person course running near me?
Thank you
Hello Gardengenie Yes the only link I have a present is for the online course. I am aware that some Macmillan Centres are running the face to face course but I don't have the details to hand. Below is a link to find your local Macmillan Centre.
Having checked my resources the attached link may help you find a local centre - the search function is at the bottom of the page:
www.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-information-and-support
There is some information about local courses in this link too
Online HOPE (Help Overcome Problems Effectively) course
Failing that our helpline on 0808 808 00 00 (8am - 8pm 7 days a week) should have more details.
I do hope this helps.
Best wishes - Brian.
