When someone close to us is diagnosed or living with cancer, whether that’s a partner, family member, or friend, it can place a great deal of worry and stress on all those who love and care for them. With support available online, over the phone, or in person in one of our Centres, we’re here for you.
Looking for information?
When someone close to you is diagnosed with cancer the amount of information you have to take in can sometimes be overwhelming. Learning new words and meanings, finding out about the diagnosis and what the future may look like can be challenging.
We’re here to help you work through all of this, with clear information and a wide range of resources.
Looking after yourself
Big C is not just there for the person diagnosed. We know that the effects of cancer can be felt far and wide, impacting on everyone’s wellbeing. It can be a lot to manage, but at Big C we offer a wide range of support to ensure your physical and emotional wellbeing is cared for throughout.

We’ve helped people like Laura
“It’s something that you don’t want to hear, from someone that you love. It was hard and it’s still hard, because I don’t want to lose her.
When my mum’s cancer came back, I had counselling sessions that really helped. It does still hurt to bring up the past and the present, but talking about it does help.”
