Talking to friends and family

Talking to friends and family about your cancer diagnosis can be difficult. If you would like us to send you some information, please speak to your Clinical Nurse Specialist or contact the Macmillan Advice and Guidance Service (MAGS).

The following links are aimed to help you with speaking to children and teenagers about cancer:
