Cancer Talk Week 2012 - Related Health Library Resources

From January 23rd-29th Macmillan Cancer Support will be promoting an event to get people talking about cancer. Many people find it hard to talk to their family about the emotional effects of cancer, but this support can be vital in helping fight the disease.  And it’s not just families that can help. There are experts, doctors and a whole community of people online going through the same thing there to listen. Cancer Talk Week aims to highlight these available resources and offer patients and their loved ones the support they need.
