ME Association medical adviser Dr Charles Shepherd is preparing a new MEA information leaflet that covers the main problems – emotional, practical, side-effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, etc – that may occur in the unlikely situation where cancer is also diagnosed in someone with ME/CFS at some point in their illness.

If you have any personal experience of developing cancer whilst suffering from ME/CFS, and have any advice or information  that you want to pass on to other people in this situation, please do so via: meconnect@meassociation.org.uk
