PEOPLE with questions and concerns about cancer will be able to visit an information unit next month.
Macmillan Cancer Relief's Mobile Cancer Information Centre will be stationed in Gilkes Street, Middlesbrough, on August 8 and 9 from 10am to 4pm.
A team of nurses and information officers will be on hand to respond to all types of query.
Macmillan's North-East service development manager, Fay Scullion, said: "Macmillan believes that giving patients clear information and support at the right time can help improve their recovery. We know that one in six cancer patients say more information would have made a positive difference to their experience of cancer.
"Anyone concerned about cancer, either personally or indirectly, can come along and talk - no appointments are needed.
"The centre offers information on all aspects of cancer - from prevention to different treatments, and on local cancer services and support groups in the area."
People can also ring the Macmillan Information Line on 0845 6016161.
