  • Welcome you to Cancer Chat, Vivaro although I'm sorry for the reasons that bring you here.

    As you asked about what other benefits you can claim, I had a look around our website and found some information on government benefits which may be of interest, to read more please click here.

    If you have questions about this or other cancer-related matters, feel free to give our cancer nurses a call. They are available Monday - Friday between 9 a.m. - 5 p.m on 0808 800 4040 (free to call from a UK landline).

    I hope this helps.

    Best wishes to you and your wife,
