Kidorry Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 If I remember right I think the cancer hub in the market is run by the Cavendish health. This is the hubs number 0114 278 4600 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kidorry Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I think the one on Wilkinson street is a drop in centre. I would give them a ring if I were you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimo Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Yes i think I must. It is difficult because I can't go out on my own any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidorry Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Try and get the number from the T.V. advert for the Macmillan trust and I think they will give you an answer to any question you have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidorry Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I have never had any symptoms with my lung cancer that I could feel. If you could go or get someone to go to Weston park hospital, in the waiting area there are lots of information books there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have untreatable lung cancer and wondered if I might benefit from talking to someone there. I've basically been left to get on with it for now. My problem is that with my other problems as well I just don't know when I should be worried about a particular symptom/pain. Hi Minimo, if you give Cavendish a ring on 0114 278 4600 someone will be able to advise you what help they can offer. The website address is https://cavcare.org.uk/ . You can also self refer for any of the therapies they offer. The hub, where I work is part of Cavendish but also separate. We are there to give advice about cancer screening; signpost people who have cancer (or friends and relatives) to other agencies ; give out relevant information or to just sit and have a chat. I would also recommend ringing the MacMillan helpline (0808 808 00 00) as they may be able to give advice re particular symptoms/pain you have. I hope this helps. Please pop and see us at the hub anytime. Edited February 15, 2023 by hubworker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too good on the phone so speaking with someone face to face is better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Grandad was under the care up at WPH right up to his death in August 1997, they were excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
