AN MP will be among visitors to a mobile cancer information centre when it arrives on Teesside.
Ashok Kumar, the Middlesbrough south and east Cleveland MP, will call at the Macmillan Cancer Relief Centre, when it visits Gilkes Street, Middlesbrough, tomorrow, and talk to the team of nurses and information officers.
The mobile unit is stopping off in the town as part of a national tour, which began in April.
Anyone with questions or worries about cancer is urged to drop in for advice about prevention, symptoms, treatment and local services and support.
Mr Kumar said: "As someone who is campaigning to get a centre of excellence for cancer research and treatment based on Teesside, I know the value of the Macmillan Cancer Relief organisation.
"Macmillan nurses play a lead role in heightening public awareness of cancer and helping with cancer treatment, as well as working with the families of sufferers."
