SIR - Have you been affected by cancer and struggling financially? Have you experienced problems paying mortgage or rent bills?

Macmillan Cancer Support would like to hear from you.

We specifically would like to hear from anyone who has had housing problems such as difficulties with their rent or mortgage payments following a cancer diagnosis.
