Talk to a cancer specialist

If you have a question about cancer, or you just need someone to listen, you can chat to our trained advisors, including cancer information specialist nurses on the Macmillan Support Line. From cancer treatment, to money worries, to feeling down, there is no problem too big or small and we will do whatever it takes to support you.

You might think other people need help more, but you shouldn't let that stop you from contacting us. We are here for everybody living with or affected by cancer and we want to hear from you.

For free, confidential advice from our cancer specialists you can:

  • Call the Macmillan Support Line for free on 0808 808 00 00 as it can be easier to discuss diagnosis, treatments or practical support in real time with a specialist.
  • You can also chat online with our specialists. When chat is open you will see a 'Chat to us' icon at the bottom right of your screen. Click this to start the service. You will be asked a few questions to direct you to the best service to support you.
  • If you would like to send us an email please complete our online form. All emails are answered during opening hours and we will reply within two working days.

However you get in touch we will always help you get support from the relevant service. The opening times for each of our support services are listed below.

Common questions about the Macmillan Support Line

  • About our call charges

    Calls to Macmillan's Support Line on 0808 808 00 00 are free on all UK landlines and UK mobile phones.

    If you are calling from a business phone, you should check with your provider whether there will be a charge for calling numbers starting with 0800 or 0808.

  • How do I get support if the helpline is closed?

    We know that there can be times that you might need information and support when the Macmillan Support Line is closed.

    Our Online Community forums is a free place for people living with or affected by cancer to chat about the issues or ask questions. It is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

    You can find lots of information written by our cancer information team on our website about diagnosis, treatments and the impacts of cancer.

  • If you are deaf or hard of hearing

    You can ask for a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter call to be set up if you need further assistance. You can do this by emailing us or chatting online to arrange a BSL interpreter call to be set up. Or you can have a hearing family member or friend call the support line on your behalf.

    Please note, it can take up to 3 working days to arrange a call. This depends on the availability of BSL interpreters and finding a time that suits you. You will need to have access to a laptop or PC, a good internet connection and a webcam. Call 0808 808 00 00 (8am to 8pm, 7 days a week) to find out more about this service.

    For non-BSL users, you can chat online with nurses, cancer information specialists and money advisors, from 8am to 8pm.

    You can make text relay calls by dialling 18001 followed by 0808 808 00 00. The Relay UK app is also available to download on Google Play or App Store.

  • If you are calling from outside the UK

    If you're calling from outside of the UK you can contact us on +44 207 091 2230. We are unable to advise on healthcare systems overseas. Please note that calls to these numbers are not free when made from phones based outside the UK.
