    oops, postcode ML11 8NE Scotland

  • Hello

    After checking your postcode the nearest maggies centres are in Glasgow and Edinburgh, what distance from yourself unfortunately I do not know, but if you want information or a chat this is the place to ask questions, so what did they say about your condition as in your PSA, or Gleason score and what stage ? Also did they offer any treatments. All this helps us and there may be a few that live near you who can give further information.

    Stay safe

  • Hi Iain. Only live part-time in Scotland (Edinburgh) so can't help with meet-ups/groups etc., but for support the people on here and on Prostate Cancer UK will always be up for chats/advice/support.

  • Hi Iain,  I`ve had the need to call the Macmillan Support line ( 0808 808 00 00 ) on a couple of occasions after my mood dropped like a stone after I was diagnosed last year. They are excellent, non judgemental and very experienced at what they do, I felt a lot better after talking to them. I know what they are like so I would not hesitate to call them again. Hope this helps.

    Take care, Tom
