"She helps and supports me on every step of my journey"

About: Forth Valley Community Services / Macmillan One to One

(as the patient),

I wanted to put my story up simply because I don’t know what I would do without the care and support from Dianne from The MacMillan One to One Team.

I have terminal cancer and Dianne helps and supports me on every step of my journey, she is with me on my good days and my bad days and I would be truly gutted if I didn’t have her support.

When we chat on days when I’m not good, she always helps me to turn it around and try and find the positive in the situation and is also very understanding when I’m really not good.

I am so very grateful for this service and Dianne so thank you so much for this invaluable service

Lead nurse for the Macmillan One to One team, who provide psychosocial support to people affected by cancer. The aim of the team is to maximise quality of life by completing a Holistic Needs Assessment (HNA) with the patient and agree on an individualised care plan, usually completed in the patient's home. The team provide physical, emotional and practical support, whether following diagnosis, after treatment, or anytime after suffering long-term consequences of cancer and its treatment.

Thank you so much for your very positive feedback. Telling people how you feel about the impact our team has made on you (in particular from Dianne) is extremely important and valuable to us as a service. We thrive to ensure people affected by cancer have guidance, support and information in order that they can carry on living their lives, so thank you for letting us know we have achieved this for you. I will of course share this story with Dianne.
