Most cancer patients feel they need some extra help at some stage of their illness and treatment.

You may need some information or advice about your cancer, or perhaps you have a practical question, for example about claiming benefits, arranging travel insurance or making decisions about your treatment options.

Maybe you’d like to meet people who know what you’re going through and can offer you friendship at this difficult time. If so, there may well be a self-help or support group that’s right for you.

Friends, family and carers may need support too, because cancer affects not only the person who is ill, but also those around them.

We hope this part of our website will point you in the right direction.
