In memory of his wife, film producer Melanie Dicks, who passed away in 2025 after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Paul Evans has written and published a booklet of 15 things he wishes he had been told or asked to consider as a carer for someone with cancer.

The booklet includes practical, real tips that would have helped him and could help others who find themselves in similar situations.

We think this is a wonderful tribute and a useful guide for anyone looking after a friend or family member with cancer

You can download '15 things I wish I'd known from the start' for free, or find a copy in your nearest Maggie's centre.

We would love to hear from you if you have more tips to share, so please add your comments and thoughts below.
