Macmillan Cancer Support are working with Asian Star Radio in Slough to raise awareness of support available for people with cancer and their families.
Cancer support in your community
If you or someone you care about has been diagnosed with cancer, we're here to help. You may be overwhelmed by the number of thoughts and questions you have about cancer, questions both big and small, one leading to another. At Macmillan Cancer Support we do whatever it takes to support you right now.
Ravinder's story
"I found I couldn’t talk openly to the Asian community about my diagnosis. But I felt I needed to talk about it, to raise awareness for other ladies out there. There’s nothing to be ashamed of.
I try to go to our temples and raise awareness in small groups. I try to have one-to-ones with these women, so they are aware of changes in their bodies. By communicating with them, my confidence has grown too. I get huge satisfaction from it.
Cancer has definitely changed me. I am stronger and more confident in myself. I'm passionate about people in the community feeling safe to talk about cancer and understand it."
