Welcome to Cancer Journey
Cancer Journey is the information signposting service for anyone affected by any type of cancer.
Our aim is to ensure that all people affected by cancer can find the information that they need, at the time that they need it, and in the format that suits them.
Our database contains details of hundreds of organizations offering support and advice on all aspects of living with cancer so you can be sure you will find the help you need.
Our telephone helpline (0303 333 000 3) is open seven days a week from 10am till 4pm with an answering service at other times.
Our helpline staff are trained by Macmillan Cancer Support but are not medically trained so we cannot offer opinions on medical treatments or advise on options. But we can help you find the people with the expert knowledge.
If you can't immediately find what you're looking for then please email us with a query or phone the information line.
If we don't hold the information we will find it and get back to you quickly - because we know what its like to have to wait.
We have arranged our information into nine categories, as some of our sources could fit into more than one it is worth looking around.
We value any feedback and comments you have so if you would like to suggest topics or make recommendations for useful links please contact us.
Cancer Journey does not charge for any of its services so if you have found this website useful please consider making an online donation.
Free Prescription charges for cancer patients in England
From 1 April 2009, cancer patients in England will be eligible for free prescriptions. All cancer patients undergoing treatment for cancer, the effects of cancer or the effects of cancer treatment can now apply for exemption certificates. The forms, which need to be signed by a GP or oncologist, are now available from all GP's surgeries or oncology clinics. The certificates cover all prescriptions not just those relating to cancer. For more information visit the Department of Health website : www.dh.gov.uk
We'd like to say a special thank you to the sponsors of this website - the McIndoe Surgical Centre in East Grinstead, Sussex, and to our web designers Zigzag.
