Do a little to help a lot – Macmillan Cancer Support

Hi my name is Scout. Thank you for taking an interest in my Blog! Helping those with Cancer is something I believe in very strongly. Macmillan Cancer Support helps those who need it a lot. They care for Patients with cancer and help to support them financially. As well as supporting those with cancer, Macmillan also do the same for the others affected, such as their family and friends.

Many people are living with cancer in silence, and living in fear, Macmillan are there to reduce the fear and reassure family and friends. Macmillan also have an online community so patients don’t feel so alone in what they are going through. This means that if at any time, they have any worries or even want to talk to someone, they can do just that.

Cancer can do many things to people, it can make their life a misery. If you feel that something like cancer is ruining our life, you will want a completely selfless organisation like Macmillan there to be there through you treatment process.

Cancer is not a single disease with a single type of treatment. There are more than 200 different kinds of cancer, each with its own name and treatment.

This is Paul. He has been a member of Macmillan’s Online Community since being diagnosed with bladder cancer in September 2010. He spends time chatting online to people, who are finding ways to get through the tough times together.
