Whilst my hubbie had his chemo I sat in the warmth and comfort of Maggie's center based at the hospital. I was so well looked after. Whilst hubbie was having his last chemo session I bought some raffle tickets to support the wonderful service they offer, not only for the person with cancer but their loved ones as well. Today hubbie had a phone call to say that he had won a men's hamper in the draw. How lovely is that. Can't wait to go and pick it up. If you have a centre like this near you go and check them out. They really are amazing.
Hello Shar To quote my old mum - bless her
"If she fell out of the Co-Op she would land in the dividend".
Maggie's centres are amazing and are a support centre (a charity too) for anyone affected by cancer. They are located around the country and all offer a number of services - meetings, counselling, support, courses and even just a cup of tea and a listening ear.

There are No Maggies Centres in the big county of Lincolnshier and I have asked Maggies if there will be... and the reply was they guess not. due to ULHT not been to keen to have one. As thoes who live in Lincolnshire know there is no or very little help for thoes who have Cancer in Lincolnshire.

Hello Les s
That's not good at all, something I wasn't aware of and I am based in Oldham so it's not local to me. I just did a search of the "in your area" for Lincolnshire on our web pages and here's the link to what help I have found:
If there's nothing there for you it's possible our support line on 0808 808 00 00 may have some further information about local groups.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes - Brian.

Hi Les, thought it was a long shot but worth a try. MAGGIES, only been going for 3 or 4 weeks Leeds, was there today, always take a couple of large homemade cheesecakes which i left on the worktop as i had a quick visit see my cardiologist. Back in 30 minutes, they never even saved me a slice,
