MacMillan Cancer Support can give adivice about getting financial help whilst living with cancer.  Sometimes, whilst people are ill, they may have to stop work for a while or reduce their hours of work.  They may need help with travel costs and parking charges whilst visiting hospital.  Dental and eye tests can be costly and there is also help for this.  There is also lots of information about Disability L:iving Allowance and other supporting benefits.  Look at www.macmillan.org.uk/abetterdeal
