FREE cancer information and support is coming to Northwich on Monday.

Macmillan Cancer Support’s mobile service will be visiting Tesco car park in Manchester Road on February 3, with specialists on hand to answer questions and provide information.

The team encourages anyone with worries relating to cancer to stop by between 9am and 3pm, whether you’re a cancer patient or carer.

Research shows that a cancer diagnosis can cost people £570 a month, in being unable to work and with increased travel costs.

Alison Rogers, a Macmillan Information and Support Specialist on the unit, said: "We’re here to answer any questions about cancer. Whether you want to know what symptoms to look out for, need advice about managing the side effects of your treatment, or want to find local support for carers, come along and see us. We’d be happy to help.

"It’s really important that people living with cancer are able to access the financial advice and support they are entitled to, so they can focus on what’s most important: their health.

"We can help signpost people to Macmillan benefits advisers who can provide free, confidential advice."
