Around 1,560 people are diagnosed with cancer in Shropshire every year. They need treatment and support. Macmillan helps by providing:
In addition to these we provide the Macmillan helplines, Macmillan grants and the Macmillan website - UK-wide services that benefit local people.
In 2009, Macmillan will be supporting these cancer services across the region and two Macmillan nurses specialising in lung cancer and in kidney and prostrate cancer.
Macmillan nurses specialise in providing care, support and information from the moment someone is diagnosed with cancer. They help people make choices about their treatment and manage symptoms and side-effects, as well as providing emotional support. Being told you have cancer is always traumatic, but some people find it more difficult than others to cope with the illness and its treatment.
We also have a Macmillan musculo-skeltal occupational therapist at the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital who will look after people with bone and soft tissue tumours, providing them with specialist information and support and ensuring they receive the best possible care and a Macmillan palliative care service improvement coordinator will be looking to promote the best possible cancer care across Shropshire.
Macmillan is campaigning for a better deal for people in Shropshire affected by cancer, now and in the future. We want everyone with cancer to receive the same level of care regardless of who they are and where they live.
Help us campaign for a better deal for people living with or beyond cancer by joining our e-campaigner network. You will be able to take action online and receive the latest campaign news by email.
‘It was such a struggle paying for prescriptions that I’d stay awake at night crying. The success of Macmillan’s campaign will help thousands like me. I’m thankful I was able to play a part in making change happen.’ Amanda, 45, Surrey

Since my diagnosis with breast cancer in 1991 I have had a number of operations and procedures. I was reluctant to seek help at first, but I was persuaded by my family and friends. I met Dr Marilyn Owens, the Macmillan psychologist who is based at the Shrewsbury Hospital, she has helped me come to terms with how my life would be better with a mastectomy. My husband Steve also benefitted from her expertise as we both had counselling sessions. She has made me feel in control and has made my world a different place. I am now trying to give something back to Macmillan for the help that I received by raising money and helping out with campaigns, when we got married we asked for donations in lieu of presents for Macmillan - my best fundraising event yet!
