you can:

Help Macmillan by sharing your story with the media

Become a Cancer Voice to use their experience to help shape cancer services and improve cancer care

Use our Online Community where people share their stories and are of help to others going through a cancer experience

Create a blog on the Online Community

Look at the Cancer Survivors Club website which has an option to submit a story.
