Cancer Information

We provide high quality, up-to-date cancer information for cancer patients.

We also provide information for families and carers. All of our information here features specialists.

Physical activity

Many people who have undergone cancer treatment find that it can cause side effects such as fatigue, depression, weight gain and bone thinning.The good news is these side effects can be managed by reducing resting time during treatment and gradually building up physical activity levels after it. Getting active can have many other benefits too, such as cutting your risk of developing other health conditions.

At Macmillan, we believe that people living with and beyond cancer have the right to information and support, including around being physically active, throughout their cancer journey. And we're calling on our supporters and health professionals to help spread this message. If you have cancer or have had it and want to become more active, we can give you advice and support.
