A cancer support van from Macmillan will be making stops around Wirral to offer support to those affected by cancer.

The team will stop at five locations across the borough, offering answers to anyone who has questions about cancer.

The visit also coincides with November being lung cancer awareness month.

Lung cancer is common in both men and women with more than 47,000 cases diagnosed every year.

Debbie Smith, Macmillan Mobile Information and Support Specialist on the unit, said: “If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with cancer, you may have questions – and may not know where to go to get them answered.

“Macmillan is here for you. Our mobile bus is coming right into your community, with experts on board to give you cancer information and support that’s confidential and specially tailored to you.

“We have information about a wide range of cancers – including lung.

"Whether you want to chat about symptoms, money worries or just want a listening ear, pop in and see us.”

  • Monday, November 25 - JunctionONE Retail Park, Bidston Moss from 10am to 4pm
