What's also important to remember is that cancer patients need additional heating. The chemotherapy and other drugs used mean they feel the cold more than other people. The additional fuel payments are only applicable to pensioners who are means tested, but cancer patients don't automatically qualify for additional assistance - especially important during these recent cold spells.

You can all help by looking at the MacMillan nurses website:
