Nurse-led cancer support line

If you or someone you love has been affected by cancer, our free Support Line is here for you. Our cancer nurses are here to listen, answer your questions and provide support when you need it most

A cancer diagnosis can bring lots of questions, worries and uncertainty. You might be wondering what your treatment involves, struggling with side effects, worried about the future, or simply looking for someone who understands.

Whatever is on your mind, our team of cancer nurses can help you find the right support and take the next step at your own pace.

Our free Support Line is a place to start if you’re looking for information, advice or a listening ear. We can connect you with the right support from Tenovus Cancer Care, whatever stage of your cancer journey you’re at.

The Support Line is available in both English and Welsh, Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm, and Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holidays, 10am–1pm.

How our cancer nurses can help

Our experienced cancer nurses can offer confidential support, information and advice to anyone affected by cancer. You can talk to us about:

- Understanding your cancer diagnosis

- Worries about the future
- Emotional support after a diagnosis
- Caring for someone with cancer
- Finding other support that may help you

You don’t need to know exactly what you need before you call. Sometimes the hardest part is knowing where to start - and that’s what we’re here for. Call us on 0808 8080 1010.

Who can contact the Support Line?

Our Support Line is available for:

- People living with cancer
- People who have recently been diagnosed
- Family members and friends
- Carers
- People who have been bereaved after losing someone to cancer
- Anyone worried about cancer or supporting someone through it

You don’t need to be receiving treatment, and you don’t need to have all the answers. Whether cancer is affecting your life, or you’re coping with the loss of someone you love, we’re here to listen, support you and help you find the right support. Call us on 0808 8080 1010.

Prefer to write things down?

Sometimes it feels easier to put your questions into words rather than talk on the phone. With Ask the Nurse, you can send our nurses your questions online and receive a response. There's no such thing as a silly questions when it comes to cancer.
