Improving the Cancer Journey

We are here for you

If you are living in Dundee and have been affected by cancer, our Macmillan Improving the Cancer Journey (ICJ) service is here to help you live as well as possible.

The Dundee Health and Social Care Partnership is working in partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support to provide practical, personal and emotional support to people living with cancer, their carers and families.  We want to ensure that everyone living with and beyond cancer can live as well and as independently as possible.

Cancer doesn’t just affect your physical wellbeing, it can impact on every aspect of your life and the lives of those around you. But knowing where to turn for support isn’t always easy.

We can meet with you to discuss your needs, make referrals to services on your behalf and help you access tailored information and support. You can talk to us about how you feel, get help with money and housing worries or help at home – whatever matters most to you.

We will also be able to give you details of organisations who can provide support, or contact them on your behalf. We also provide support for family members and carers.

To get in touch with us or find out more about how we can help, contact 01382 433340 or improving.cancerjourney@dundeecity.gov.uk. You can also text YES along with your name to 07860 077337.

“Many  thanks again for all your help.  I very much appreciate your help and assistance for easing many of my concerns for the future.  My future is beginning to look a little less bleak." Dundee ICJ service user
