MDS is a group of blood cancers affecting healthy blood-cell production. Fatigue and repeated infections deserve attention, not dismissal as ordinary tiredness. #MDS
A member resource library, printable planners, plain-English guides and small moderated peer groups. Membership keeps practical support close between appointments, and helps keep our cancer information free and independent.
Wear It Pink on 23 October. Pink can remind us to turn awareness into practical support and reliable information for people affected by breast cancer. #WearItPink
Symptoms can be easy to explain away. Persistent headaches, vision or balance changes, fits and personality changes should be checked rather than ignored. cancercareparcel.com/cancer-… #BrainTumourWeek

More support, when you need it. Member resources, planners, visual tools, moderated peer support, offers and shop discounts.
Men get breast cancer too. Rare, but real. A lump, nipple change or swelling in the armpit should be checked by a GP, not dismissed as a cancer that only affects women. #MensBreastCancer
A second opinion is a normal part of good cancer care, not an insult to your team. You are allowed to ask for one, and most clinicians expect it. Your specialist nurse or GP can explain how it works. #CancerSupport
A fever during chemotherapy is not a wait-and-see symptom. Some treatments lower your ability to fight infection, so 38°C (100.4°F) or above means calling your cancer team now, day or night. Ask for the 24-hour number if you don't have one. #CancerSupport
