Charity’s support does not stop for Christmas

FOR many of us, this Christmas will feel more normal than the one we experienced last year.

But for people living with cancer in Leicestershire, it might feel just as isolating as it did 12 months ago.

They might still be shielding, be worried about coping with treatment side effects or feel like a burden to their families.

Cancer doesn’t stop at Christmas, and neither does our support. That’s why we want anyone across Leicestershire who has been affected by cancer to know that we are there for them this Christmas.

Macmillan’s national support line is also open every day between 8am and 8pm. Anyone affected by cancer can call free on 0808 808 00 00.

The website, www.macmillan.org. uk, has lots of information and an option for you to chat to an expert online.

There’s also our online community where people share experiences, ask questions and talk to people who understand what they might be going through.

Macmillan is here to do whatever it takes to support you from the moment you are diagnosed – that includes at Christmas time.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you need information, support or just someone to talk to.
