Macmillan Cancer Support publishes a large library of information booklets for people affected by cancer, their families and carers, covering specific cancer types, treatments, side effects, work, benefits and emotional support.

Individuals can order printed copies free of charge. Macmillan’s own guidance is to create a Macmillan Orders account, search for the booklet by name or MAC code, and place your free order.

You get an order confirmation email and then a dispatch email. Many titles are also available as audiobooks, easy-read versions, large print, Braille or in other languages on request.
