Bronwen ready to answer cancer queries

MACMILLAN Cancer Support’s information bus Bronwen is arriving in Cardiff this week to help answer your questions about cancer.

Bronwen will be at Morrisons in Cardiff Bay tomorrow from 9am to 3pm with her team of Macmillan experts before travelling to Sainsbury’s on Colchester Avenue from 9am to 3pm on Thursday.

She will then be outside Marks and Spencer on Queen Street on Friday.

The team will be on hand to offer information and advice to anybody with questions about cancer.

The bus is packed with information on the different types of cancers, their symptoms and where to get local help from diagnosis right through to the physical, financial and emotional support.

A private room on board also lets people have more sensitive conversations with staff.

Moray Hayman, Bronwen team lead cancer information and support specialist said: “We encourage anyone who has questions about cancer to come and see us, whether they’re living with cancer, have been recently diagnosed, are caring for someone with cancer or are worried about somebody.

“As well as answering questions, we can let visitors know about other cancer services locally and provide information on a range of matters, including the physical, financial and emotional support available.

“Even if you don’t have a specific question to ask, our friendly team are always available for a chat about whatever cancer throws your way.”

If you are unable to visit the unit but have questions about cancer, visit www.macmillan.org. uk or call the Macmillan Support Line free on 0808 808 0000 (9am to 8pm).
