Free cancer advice and support is coming to West Yorkshire on Thursday 3 and Friday 4 August.
Macmillan Cancer Support’s mobile bus service will be visiting the area, with cancer information specialists on hand to answer questions and provide information.
The team are highlighting issues around the financial impact of cancer. Macmillan research shows that 83% of people are, on average, £570 a month worse off because of a cancer diagnosis.
Lucy Rogers, a Macmillan Information and Support Specialist on the unit, said:
“It’s really important that people living with cancer are able to access the financial advice and support they are entitled to, so they can focus on what’s most important: their health. We can help signpost people to Macmillan benefits advisers who can provide free, confidential advice.
“We’re here to answer any questions about cancer. 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. We’d be happy to help.”
The bus will be at the Seacroft Tesco in Leeds on Thursday 3 August from 9am to 3pm and in Halifax on Friday 4 August at the Woolshops shopping centre from 10am to 4pm.
