Cancer can affect many areas of your life beyond your health, including your work, finances, relationships and day-to-day support. You may also find that your needs change over time, particularly during and after treatment.

This section brings together information and support to help you navigate these practical and social challenges. You will find guidance on topics such as returning to work or education, accessing financial and social care support, connecting with support groups, and support for carers.

Our aim is to help you feel supported in all aspects of your life, and to make it easier to find the help you need when you need it.
