MACMILLAN Cancer Support’s information bus Bronwen is coming to Ammanford to help answer your questions about cancer.

Bronwen will be at Tesco, Ammanford on Tuesday, October 8, from 9am to 4pm to offer information and advice to anybody with questions about cancer.

Bronwen is packed with information on the different types of cancers, their symptoms and where to get local help from diagnosis right through to the physical, financial and emotional support.

A private room on board also lets people have more sensitive conversations with staff, who can help find the information and support that they need.

Macmillan is encouraging anyone living nearby, or who are simply passing by, who have questions about cancer to come and say hello.

Moray Hayman, Bronwen Team Lead Cancer Information and Support Specialist says: “We encourage anyone who has questions about cancer to come and see us, whether they’re living with cancer, have been recently diagnosed, are caring for someone with cancer or are worried about somebody.

“As well as answering questions on the day, we can let visitors know about other cancer services locally and provide information on a range of matters, including the physical, financial and emotional support available.

“Even if you don’t have a specific question to ask, our friendly team are always available for a chat about whatever cancer throws your way.”

Richard Pugh, Head of Services for Macmillan in Wales, said: “At Macmillan, we know a cancer diagnosis can turn life upside down in just a moment and we aim to be right there with you.

“Funded by our brilliant supporters, our mobile information team travels around Wales to bring cancer information and advice to your community.

“Bronwen is smaller and lighter that most of our services, meaning we can reach even more people with cancer to offer our expert information and advice and to support people with cancer to live life as fully as they can.”
