WEST Wiltshire MP Andrew Murrison renewed his support for Macmillan Cancer Relief at the charity's drop-in surgery in the House of Commons.
Dr Murrison gave his backing to the charity's Better Deal campaign, which exposes the huge problem of financial hardship facing cancer patients, and learned of its work in the Westbury constituency.
He said: "Most of us have heard of Macmillan nurses, but the charity helps fund many other cancer care services including cancer treatment and information centres, health professionals like speech and language therapists, and carers' schemes to support the family and friends looking after a loved one.
"We also discussed the findings of the charity's recent research into the financial difficulties that cancer can cause, because of the extra, unexpected, costs that people with cancer incur.
"I'm very pleased to help draw awareness to this important issue and ask people with cancer who are worried about money to call Macmillan's campaign line on 0808 500 800 or discuss it with their doctor, nurse, or local Citizens Advice Bureau."
