Still got questions about cancer?

Though Pelican cannot provide any further information, advice or referral for patients directly (we do not have the expertise or resources within our charity offices to do so), these organisations may be able to help with any unanswered questions:

    • Macmillan Cancer Support – 0808 808 0000
    • Cancer Research UK – 0808 800 4040

Cancer-specific organisations may also be helpful. They are listed in ‘Useful contacts’ within the relevant cancer category in the patient resources section.

We welcome feedback on our website content. If you’d like to tell us what information you’d like to see here in future, we’d be very grateful. Please e-mail us your thoughts: admin@pelicancancer.org.
