Cancer may change you, but it doesn’t need to define you.

If you could send a message to your younger self, what would you say?

It shouldn’t be the case that who you are and where you live affects whether you receive the support that’s right for you.

We know that finding the right travel insurance causes more stress and anxiety for people with cancer than almost any other issue associated with their diagnosis.

Cancer care across the UK is at breaking point, and people with cancer are facing significant challenges across all areas of their lives.

The next UK government must turn the crisis around and develop a plan to revolutionise cancer care.

[Macmillan Cancer Support @macmillancancer]

Cancer care is at breaking point - but this is a political choice, and better is possible.

We urgently need the next UK government to prioritise a funded, long-term cross-government strategy that revolutionises cancer care and ensures everyone with cancer has access to the care they need, every step of the way.

In tonight’s #ITVDebate neither @RishiSunak nor @Keir_Starmer mentioned 'cancer' once, even when Janet shared her experience.

We get it.

It’s a word nobody wants to hear.

But 1 in 2 of us will face it in our lifetimes.

Research shows that the financial impact of having a cancer diagnosis, for those living in the UK, is on average around £900 a month.

This #InternationalNursesDay, we're celebrating the incredible work nurses do to provide care and support to people living with cancer every day.

We know that nurses make a huge difference in people's lives, so join us in saying thank you to all the amazing cancer nurses for the work they do. 💚

[Macmillan Cancer Support @macmillancancer]

People in the UK are experiencing huge gaps and differences in their cancer care, simply because of who they are or where they live.

This has to change.

If you’re worried about any signs or symptoms, please get in touch with your GP as soon as possible.

It’s important to understand some people may still be going through treatment and are still dealing with its side effects. They may require adjustments at work.

They may also continue to feel the impact of their diagnosis on themselves, their families, and friends, or they could be relieved things are starting to get 'back to normal’. Restarting work can help get back into a routine and reconnect with colleagues and friends.

[Macmillan Cancer Support @macmillancancer]

As His Majesty The King returns to public-facing duties, we know many people with cancer will understand that choosing to return to work can be a complex decision and can mean very different things to different people.
