Counselling

Hi Hayley, 

I am currently having help in form of face to face counselling from the cancer charity Maggies. I’m not sure if you have one in your local area but maybe give the Macmillan support line a call if not and see if they can help at all. 

Take care, 

Frankie 

I have my first face to face session next week, it was offered to me by my CNS when I got my diagnosis and initially I declined but it was offered again on a follow up chat a few weeks after surgery and I decided to give it a go. It’s provided on the NHS at our local oncology hospital. Hope you get sorted out. xx

The Maggie’s centre at my hospital (UHS Southampton) offers walk in support (no appointment needed) or prearranged counselling. You could ask your CNS what’s available at your hospital. I didn’t use Maggie’s but I phoned my CNS 2-3 times a week sometimes for support and also used the Macmillan phone help line several times.
