A special mobile unit from a leading cancer charity will be visiting Chesham next month to give advice on dealing with the disease.

Macmillan Cancer Support’s mobile service will be on Chesham High Street between 10am and 4pm on February 3.

The Macmillan team are encouraging anyone with worries or concerns related to cancer to drop in for a free and confidential chat.

The team will also be highlighting the financial implications for those diagnosed with cancer and providing advice on how to cope with it.

Macmillan recently released research revealing that 83 per cent of cancer patients are affected financially by having cancer, with losses being estimated at £570 a month.

Michelle Smith, a Macmillan Information and Support Specialist, said: “It’s really important that people living with cancer are able to access the financial advice and support they are entitled to.

“We can help signpost people to Macmillan benefits advisers who can provide free, confidential advice.

“Whether you want to know what symptoms to look out for, need advice about managing the side effects of your treatment, or want to find local support for carers, come along and see us.”
