Find out how we produce our information|
Tests and scans are used to diagnose cancer and to see how you’re doing during and after treatment. In this section you can find out more about some of these tests, why they’re done and what to expect.
Whatever the reason for the test or scan, it can be a really scary and difficult time. Finding out more about what a test involves and what it’s really going to be like can be helpful and hopefully reduce your fears.
If you’re looking for information about which tests you might have for a specific cancer, have a look at the information for your type of cancer|.
For answers, support or just a chat, call the Macmillan Support Line free (Monday to Friday, 9am-8pm)
If you have any questions about cancer, need support or just want someone to talk to, ask Macmillan.
If you fancy getting fit with a cycling challenge or baking up a storm with a Coffee Morning, your fundraising could help thousands.
