Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Centre - Peterborough

The Cancer Wellbeing Service is a free support service for anyone affected by cancer, including Trust staff. No referral is needed.

We understand that cancer impacts lives in many different ways and at different times, including physical, emotional, practical, social and financial effects.

We offer support for people who are:

• Newly diagnosed with cancer
• Having treatment for cancer
• Recovering from cancer
• Living with Cancer
• Experiencing long term effects after cancer
• Friends, family or colleagues
• Healthcare Professionals

Specialist staff are available to offer advice and a listening ear. There are also a wide range of support services available, including individual or group support and information sessions. We offer counselling sessions for patients and their carers, run by qualified and student counsellors. Please give us a call or drop in during our opening hours to find out more.

 

We also have Information Centres based in the Haematology/Oncology Department, and in the Woodlands Centre in Hinchingbrooke. We are supported by volunteers, and able to offer student counselling placements.
