Relative aboard with cancer - they don't have free healthcare. Are there any charities in the UK that could help?

Hello , I have found out a close relative of mine has cancer they do not get free healthcare is there any charities in the uk that may help or anywhere I can reach out to?

  • Welcome to the forum Throwaway1237858 although I'm sorry to hear a close relative of yours has been diagnosed with cancer. This must be a very difficult time for you both, especially knowing how difficult their healthcare situation is.

    I hope this information we have about cancer treatment for overseas visitors will be useful, but for further information and advice you can give our team of cancer nurses a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to help.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar situation with their loved ones will share their stories and advice with you soon as well.

    I hope this this helps Throwaway1237858 and your relative is able to access the treatment they need.

    Best wishes to you both,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
