Conversations about cancer: How to talk about the Big C, featuring Coleen Nolan, Michelle Heaton and Azmina Rose

Talking about cancer is still a big fat taboo, despite most of us having been affected by it in some way. Yet, it’s only through open and honest conversations that we can ask for and offer support, foster better understanding, and come to terms with whatever the situation may be. Here, Coleen Nolan discusses how she has dealt with multiple diagnoses in her family and Michelle Heaton explains how talking about her preventative double mastectomy helped her to process that choice. Azmina Rose, Macmillan’s Trust Lead for Cancer Patient Experience, is on hand to offer expert advice and guidance.RESOURCESBoots Macmillan Information Pharmacists: www.boots.com/macmillan/boots-macmillan-information-pharmacistBoots Macmillan Virtual Information Pharmacists: www.boots.com/macmillan/boots-macmillan-virtual-information-pharmacistsMacmillan ‘Talking About Cancer’: www.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-information-and-support/diagnosis/talking-about-cancer/talking-about-cancerBoots Macmillan No 7 Beauty Advisors: www.boots.com/macmillan/feelmorelikeyou Hosted on Acast.
