Tameside & Glossop Macmillan Information & Support

We are open and here to support people affected by cancer. If you or some one you know has questions, needs or concerns Please do not hesitate to contact us. By phone 0161 922 5644 and email macmillan.info@tgh.nhs.uk

A simple conversation could help save someone’s life. If you spot someone who doesn’t look OK. Small, soft questions can be a gentle way in - they interrupt the cycle of thoughts and help someone shift a little inside and engage with the world outside of their thoughts

Thanks to everyone for their support today for our 3rd annual cancer education event to coincide with #WorldCancerDay 🌏

Breaking news 📢UK Government commit to a £10 million pound Fund to support children and young people with cancer with the cost of getting to treatment. This is absolutely huge news for young cancer patients and their families who spend an average of £250 per month travelling to treatment, often over many months or years. Thank you so much for standing with us to make a massive difference. 👉bit.ly/4kfx2tB

#worldcancerday at TGH in full swing as we host our 3rd Cancer Education Day, all of our cancer nurse specialists are based in Werneth House today to share their knowledge and raise awareness @macmillancancer @StephGooder

It’s the 2nd of the month - a moment to pause, breathe, and tune in to your body. Our #SecondsOnThe2nd post is back to spotlight the lesser-known signs of Metastatic Breast Cancer - symptoms that are often overlooked, misinterpreted, or dismissed altogether. If you’ve had primary breast cancer, or support someone who has, these signs are important to know. Earlier recognition can mean earlier treatment and better management. Swipe through, share, and help us keep awareness moving forward. #SecondsOnThe2nd #MetastaticBreastCancer #MBC #SecondaryBreastCancer #KnowTheSigns
