It’s easy to forget that age is just a number. That's why we're worried that sometimes older people are offered treatment and care based on their age rather than their physical fitness.
Macmillan campaigns for a better deal for people affected by cancer. We want everyone with cancer to receive the right level of treatment and support, regardless of who they are and where they live.
We want the NHS and benefits system to consider the specific needs of cancer patients, so that they do not have to personally bear the cost of their treatment. We want the health service and social care services to treat the person, not just the disease, and we want cancer treatment and care to remain a priority for the Government.
Thousands of people with cancer are struggling to keep warm and pay their energy bills. With your support, the government can't ignore them.
Proposed changes to the benefits system could leave cancer patients without vital financial support when they need it most.
Many cancer patients in England are still paying the full price for hospital parking even though the government states it should be free or reduced. Take action| to abolish these charges once and for all.
Everyone deserves to choose where they die. Support our 24/7 community nursing campaign and make sure people have this choice. Watch our film and sign the pledge today.|
