Hi there ... 

I think they are on some oncology wards ... but no one I know had a designated McMillan nurse ..

Though if you go on their home page .. you can read what they do ... and call them on their number .. that's what l did a couple of times and they really helped me ... you could always ask them what they are doing in your area ... they may have some things going on to help ..

Hope that helps a little ...  Chrissie x

Thanks for reply Chrissie

My mam got a call from a MacMillan nurse today asking if she could come out to visit her tomorrow.said my mams gp had referred her over.i personally have only known them visit at home near end of life.

Thanks again

Hi ya ..

So glad you got a call .. I used to volunteer for McMillan, and visit people with cancer ... it wasn't for end of life .. they wanted someone to chat too .. tell her your worries and I'm sure she will put your mind at rest ... try not to over think it .. though easier said then done ...but at least your getting your own one to help ...

So reassuring to read this.mams diagnosis was only 4 weeks ago and the shock of being told she didn't ask anything and the worry and unanswered questions is really effecting her.thank you so much for taking your time to reply to me
