How to find a cancer support group:
-
Search for groups in our online directory.
-
Contact your Regional Development Co-ordinator from the list below
-
Find out if there is a national organisation for your specific cancer, listed in the front of our directory. Or go to www.be.macmillan.org.uk for a paper copy
-
Ask your GP if they know of a group, or they may know of some people who want to start one
-
Ask the cancer specialist nurse at the hospital if they know of any
-
Start your own cancer support group - if there isn't a group nearby and you'd like to start up your own, contact a Development Co-ordinator for advice, information, support, training and how to apply for some start-up funding
