Do You Need Help or Advice About Cancer?

Whilst one in two of us will develop some form of cancer at some point in our lives, each person’s cancer diagnosis and experience is unique.  

Whatever your questions or concerns about cancer - the side effects of treatment, anxiety, diet, exercise, wigs, or money worries – tailored information and support is available in person, over the phone or via email from the Macmillan Information and Support team at Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust.  

There are two Macmillan Information and Support Centres located in the main entrances of Frimley Park and Wexham Park hospitals, where you will receive a warm welcome and face to face advice from specialist staff and trained volunteers. They will listen to your concerns, share information in a format that works for you and communicate with professionals involved in your care. They can also direct you to local support services, groups and events, including the Citizens Advice Service, Look Good Feel Better workshops and counselling services.
