A WREXHAM MP has shown her support for Macmillan Cancer Support’s coronavirus information hub, a comprehensive information and advice service, created by Macmillan.
Former nurse Sarah Atherton MP said it is "a great initiative" which is providing clear information, support and advice about coronavirus for people living with cancer, their family and their carers.
She said: "I encourage all of my constituents in Wrexham who are concerned about how coronavirus may affect them or one of their loved ones, to please visit the Macmillan website: https://www.macmillan.org.uk/coronavirus”
"Since the outbreak of the virus, Macmillan has seen a stark increase in the number of people contacting their Support Services about coronavirus.
"Last week, Macmillan reported that over a quarter of people who contacted them had concerns or questions related to coronavirus.
"People living with cancer are rightly concerned about how coronavirus will affect their health, their treatment and care, and their work and finances."
The Department for Health and Social Care are now signposting people towards Macmillan’s coronavirus information hub.
Ms Atherton said: “Macmillan offers amazing support to people affected by cancer.
"This is why I will continue to work with Macmillan Cancer Support campaign to ensure local people get the right advice and support, and would welcome hearing from more constituents living with cancer on the impact their coronavirus is having on them.”
Macmillan provides help and support for anyone affected by cancer.
