My husband has advanced prostate cancer

Can any help on knowing who to contact for support and counselling please.

  • Hi, my husband has stage four stomach cancer. I would suggest getting in touch with Macmillan. They signposted me towards cancer support Scotland, their website has a self referral section and after a couple of months they called me and set up 6 sessions of counselling which was really helpful. My husband was also referred to our local hospice while he was in hospital and when we had an appointment to chat to the doctor their she referred me to counselling through the hospice as well. I would also look up Maggie centres, they have counsellors onsite and you can just go any time and ask to speak to them if they are free. I haven't tried them personally but my local Maggie's centre is a lovely calming place even just for a visit. 

    I hope you're able to find help soon. Xx
