Your cancer experience
Being diagnosed with cancer can be a huge shock to you, your family and friends. It’s very common to feel overwhelmed when you or a loved one has been told you have cancer. Below you will find further information that we hope will explain some of the services and terminology that you might have questions about.
If you need advice or support, please contact our Cancer Care Navigators (see below), visit our Macmillan Information Pod or our North Norfolk Macmillan Cancer Centre.
