About this booklet
The number of people living with both cancer and dementia is growing. We have written this booklet to:
- give people information about living with both conditions
- tell people where they may be able to get help.
This booklet gives information about living with cancer and dementia, but this is not the same as talking to your doctor. If you are worried about your health, talk to your doctor or nurse.
We have included quotes from people with dementia, which you may find helpful. These are from members of the Great Camden Minds Dementia Engagement and Empowerment Project (DEEP) group.
How we can help
If you have cancer, you may be able to get a Macmillan Grant to help with the extra costs of cancer. Find out who can apply and how to access our grants.
