Macmillan Cancer Support’s Post

Today, we’re taking a moment to reflect on how lucky we are to have the best supporters! These are just a handful of comments from this past year, but they represent the kindness, vulnerability and positivity we receive in our comments sections every day. We are grateful for every single interaction, which help us to raise awareness of vital issues and ultimately provide the best support we can to people affected by cancer. If there’s anyone you’d like to take a moment to thank before we head into the New Year, feel free to do so in the comments. 💚

  • Picture of trees with white flowers with a blue sky in the background. ON the image is a speech bubble that reads: “My daughter’s girlfriend at her wonderful age of 25 diagnosed last year with ovarian cancer and has had everything removed. Thanks to Macmillan’s free therapy, it really helped her discuss her feelings with someone who really understood and could help her navigate the process of early menopause.”
  • Image of a waterfall in a forest. On the speech bubble is green text that reads: “I share the same diagnosis and it’s remarkable how the body copes with bits removed! We are so fortunate to have been able to have surgery! Well done to you both for coping and having such great support from Macmillan. Keep going, the pancreatic cancer community needs you there 💪”
  • An image of a colourful sunset with three speech bubbles that read:

“Very relatable, cancer has had a huge impact on my sex life - menopause zapped any libido I had. Great to see people talking about this publicly.”

“Thank you for sharing the realities of cancer treatment and how it impacts life, sex and self- esteem. Brave woman! 💖”

“Well done for speaking about this! Having cancer and the side effects of how I feel towards my body having sex is so different now, but also learning to embrace a new kind of sexiness I feel in my femininity xxx”
