Online communities

Our communities just got bigger

We've recently merged with Macmillan Cancer Support to provide the best cancer information for everyone.  This means that as well as our What Now? online community at www.whatnow.org.uk, we now have Macmillan’s Share discussion forums at www.macmillan.org.uk/share as a place to find other people affected by cancer. Together, our communities provide the best places to share your experiences of cancer and find support.


What Now? – our online community
