I’m worried I might have Cancer
If there are any symptoms or signs you are concerned about just speak to the GP
Some people might not be sure of what kind of things to look out for or when they should be concerned; Macmillan cancer charity have made posters in different languages of what symptoms to look out for.
I need advice or support
You can always speak to The Village practice if you need advice or support. Macmillan have also got many ways of providing support such as speaking to a nurse or telephone buddy just for general support.
They also have provided ways to get support by sharing your experiences with others also affected or by speaking to an expert if you have any questions related to cancer.
