Free Macmillan counselling service

[sassassas]

Hi everyone

I wanted to share this link to a free counselling service offered by Macmillan for anyone diagnosed with cancer. So many posts on this forum are about the impact on people's mental health when you get a lung cancer diagnosis. My husband has just started it - it is easy to access, with a wellbeing assessment first on the phone, and then the 1st of 6 sessions scheduled promptly after that, by video or phone. The therapists are of course experts at understanding the trauma of living with cancer.

Best wishes to you all going through this ❤️

Thank you sassassas for sharing this, a cancer diagnosis causes a huge amount of stress which is totally understandable and the service from Macmillan that you have highlighted can be such a great support. Maggies centers which are often connected to cancer treatment centers also provide a similar service for anyone or their families who have been affected by cancer maggies.org/

If there is anything else you would like to discuss please do not hesitate to contact us at email ask the nurse at [e-mail] or call our free phone nurse led helpline number on 0800 358 7200 Monday to Thursday 0900-1700 and Friday 0900-1600

Kind regards
