My husband has terminal cancer
My husband has terminal cancer. Four different Macmillan nurses came and then disappeared. No one has been in touch for months. There are days when I feel like I'm drowning and nowhere to turn. Don't bother with these people it's a waste of time.

Dads lack of care
My poor dad was left feeling helpless and not cared about , no one took the time to sit down and explain or chat to my dad about his condition not once was he asked how he felt what to expect or just to give him comfort we were left alone to watch my dad fade away still haunts me now, he fought for 16 days not feeling cared about by professionals thank god he had us. We have been left devastated and angry i hope to god things change its cruel.

If I could give it them a minus 10 I would. My mother had aggressive breast cancer that had spread to her lymph nodes. She had a double mastectomy and so much more taken from her. Macmillan approached us! Because of this, we sought support for Mum during the gruelling rounds of treatment, but to say there was ZERO support was an understatement. Not even so much as a timely call back. When asking for benefit/PIP advice because mum had to give up her lifelong career as a nurse, again they were less than useless. I, my three sisters, and all of our family will NEVER support this charity again. Macmillan care about money and money only. Cancer patients, Carers and family who have experienced similar, I’m sorry you were subjected to Macmillan during your time of suffering. Let’s hope they get found out by the authorities for the scammers they are, preying on the most vulnerable during their time of need.

Zero support
Macmillan nurse came to fill out forms, showed no interest in my Mum as a person. When my Mum was upstairs being sick I was holding my Mum and mopping her face, while the "nurse" continued sitting downstairs with her cup of tea looking at her forms. That is not the caring nurse that I expected (don't believe the smiley adverts). We never heard from them after the initial visit and to be honest I wouldn't have wanted them. Zero advice, zero empathy, zero practical use. Shame I have to give even one star. My Mum has since passed but this still annoys me to this day. When you are confronted by the diagnosis of terminal cancer you look for support not someone to come round have tea and biscuit then disappear, totally useless!!

Just saw Macmillan reply to my post and it's just waffle.There are already nurses on the cancer wards working with the patients so do not need more highly paid nurses in talking jobs.So many people dying in agony because of poor pain relief and little or no contact with Consultants.My friends Father died in terrible pain while his allocated Macmillan nurse looked on.The family spoke to a Jnr Dr who couldn't prescribe proper pain relief so had to ring another hospital.This is happening everywhere.Macmillan waste of time.
The rating says it all tbf
The rating says it all tbf. My dad had terminal cancer, they showed up up once and never bothered again. I rang them a fair few times and they weren't interested. Disgraceful service, and I have declined to give to any fundraisers since. My experience was 8 years ago now, but it doesn't look like anything has changed from the comments, and that's really disappointing.

Buddy review
Im writing this review about the MacMillan buddy service not the support line.
I have not been very happy with the service thus far as I feel you get treated like a child. First of all your buddy gets to withold their number so you cant contact them and have to go through a kind of babysitter to arrange talks with them.
I understand that some people do not wish to disclose their number however one person is disclosing their number and if there was really any kind of issue with harrassment they could be blocked or removed from the service.
After all presumably these are 2 adults communicating with each other.
The idea in theory is a really good one. Both of you have been through cancer and could provide emotional support but all this other gatekeeping has really put me off the whole idea Im afraid. I think I would be better off just talking to a friend!

poor experience
hi , i called the macmillian hotline to report/complain that a year on , i was never given any support after been diagnosed with colon cancer , i was fobbed off by 1 elderly macmillian female worker , i wonder how many other people there are around the uk that have been left to rot , post cancer , you see these macmillian glossy adverts on the tv and newspapers , the reality sadly is a different story indeed .

Shocking! So disappointed that a charity’s brand is tarnished by a few
The interviewer said she had a confirmation bias from people coming into the sector from industry - and openly admitted a ‘few bad experiences.’
Everyone was middle class, female and white - absolutely no diversity.

Waste of space, McMillan Nurses
A close friend of mine was diagnosed with Cancer.
She didn't ask for a Mcmillan Nurse, but was assigned one whether she wanted it or not.
The Mcmillan nurse spoke to her for just 5 minutes and reassured her she would be there, every step of the way and could answer any questions she might have.
That was about 6 weeks ago.
Since then the Mcmillan nurse has not even rung her to see how she is. The Mcmillan nurse gave her a business card with her name and contact number on it and told her she could call her anytime.
She could too, as the number goes to voicemail every time. Nursing by remote I assume.
They are absolutely pathetic.
I don't know if this is a generation thing, or is it that they are all utterly useless.
They over promise and deliver nothing.

rang for help for my dad was asked does he want to make a will i said he has nothing to leave and your advice was go elsewhere and try C.A.B for benefits which as i told them that was already sorted then said join a support group in the local area this was in the height of covid so no groups running plus he was too ill to do that i nursed him until he passed on my own

Should not be working with Cancer patients.
I have advanced Lymphoma. All I needed was a letter to state my condition and housing would have re-housed us. No one at Macmillan, either the admin or the hospital nurses would help. All they would say is what they can't do. Now, I am trying to close my account with them, they are saying I haven't got an account I was already logged into. An awful company that should not be working with people who suffer from cancer. Avoid them.

Give to cancer research instead
I would give less than one star if I could. My mum died of cancer, received one call from these people then nothing at all.
My 42 Yr old son also died of cancer . Missed one call from the .tried to ring ba, no answer . No furtcontact from then . Both were refferd by hospitals. These people are very poor at doing what they say they do. Give to cancer research instead of lining peoples pockets with your grief...

My wife was given a terminal diagnosis with colon cancer In April, and died on the 1st of May. All of the nurses and hca's were amazing but the one thimg that let the whole experience down were the Macmillan nurses. They were pushy, rude invasive and clearly not apt to dealing with People. They would forget to turn up to sort out the driver, they said they would sort out various things for us and just disappeared into these sunset. They failed to control my wife's pain and frankly they weren't nice people, to the point we wanted to go private to get away from them. A useless collection of people without the necessary skills to to even talk to cancer patients, let alone treat them.

Honestly disgusted with this company
Honestly disgusted with this company. They where supposed to help ease the suffering of my grandmother's boyfriend wez and they did absolutely sod all till his final hours. They left him to suffer. Along with my grandma. She had to watch the man she loved slowly lose his mind due to his blood flooding with toxins because of his terminal liver cancer. They where supposed to arrive weeks ago to help my grandma and him with whats to come and provide ways to ease the pain and suffering in his final days. This is pure neglegence and cruelty thats is borderline criminal. How this company can be allowed to continue doing business if this is what they do. Heals where dragged at every turn. This man did not deserve this. They let a good man suffer till his final moments to die in my grandmother's arms.

Staff so well informed and helpful
After searching hard online to find the answer to a couple of questions I phoned MacMillan and they were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I needed to know how long I was likely to have a low immune system after just a lumpectomy without radiation or chemo and straight away I was told 6-12 weeks. I also asked about having had reconstruction what my options would be if I wasn't happy with it, and again got a very clear answer and told that I'd have options and what they were. It was all very impressive and I got through very quickly too! Very helpful.
