"Excellent care & support for advanced prostate cancer"

About: Forth Valley Community Services / Macmillan One to One Forth Valley Royal Hospital / Oncology unit Forth Valley Royal Hospital / Urology General practices in Forth Valley

(as the patient),

Since moving to Stirling Area in 2020 my husband has received excellent care for advanced prostate cancer from Oncology and Urology at Larbert Hospital and his GP Practice.

During this time we were advised to contact MacMillan care team and have been very grateful for their advice and care. We now have a Blue Badge, Care Allowance and regularly attend their meetings in the community.

We can not speak highly enough of the team who run the get togethers giving advice on various avenues open to my husband i.e. Mental Health support & Physical Well-being to name a few.  

We have excellent support from our family and take each day as it comes.
