It's becoming so common, yet many of us still do not know how to talk about it.

Macmillan Cancer Support hopes to change all that with Cancertalk Week.
It has been billed as the perfect opportunity to do some straight talking about cancer and related issues.

Young people in particular are the target of the campaign. They could be cancer sufferers themselves, or know someone who is.

Erin Richardson, fundraising manager for Macmillan in South Tyneside, said: "Cancer has always been a taboo word, and people try to avoid talking about it at the best of times, let alone around children.

"It is something we feel we should highlight to young people, not to frighten them but to make them more aware of cancer and inform them, so they are not in the dark about it.

"We see information as really important when it comes to cancer.

"When someone gets a diagnosis, all they hear is the word 'cancer' and the rest of the information goes over their head, they just don't take it in."

Macmillan staff visit schools all year round to talk to pupils about cancer and answer any questions.

Erin said: "There are a lot of children dealing with cancer in some way, and I think it is important to talk about it and dispel some of the myths."

Ashley Deans, whose son Corey, 14, was diagnosed with cancer at the age of seven, agrees.

She said: "I can't remember someone saying 'he's got cancer' in those exact terms.

"They told us he had a brain tumour, then that it was malignant.
"No one mentioned the 'C-word'.

"People see someone who obviously has cancer and they are afraid to ask how they are, which makes them feel even more alienated. I've even done it myself."

Mrs Deans, from Rodin Avenue, Whiteleas, South Shields, who is also mum to Alix, 11, added: "There are more cancers getting diagnosed all the time because of new technology.

"Before Corey was ill, I didn't know anyone that had ever had cancer. Now I know quite a few people, and so do the kids.

"Alix asked me the other day if you could catch cancer from someone. That's why children need to be given the facts about it.

"It is still a taboo subject. People don't know the full ins and outs, so the more it is out in the open the better."

Sue Balfour, whose son Michael, 16, is in remission after being diagnosed with cancer in March 2006, said it is even more important for information to be fed through to teenagers.

"When they are a child you're dressing them and bathing them and you get to see if there's something not right," said the mum-of-two, from Mitford Road, South Shields.

"When they get to be a teenager, they are not interested in their own bodies and you don't get to see them, which is why diagnosis in teenagers is often a bit later.

"If they are not feeli

ng right, it gets put down to growing pains, so one of the key things is to raise awareness among teenagers, without panicking them.

"The other thing about teenagers is they are growing very rapidly and that means so are their cancers, so the quicker it is caught the better."

Cancertalk Week culminates in The Big Hush - a 10-minute sponsored silence raising funds for Macmillan – on Friday.

Erin has received 12 registrations from groups in South Tyneside willing to take part, including schools, nurseries, Brownies and community centres.

Others are welcome to take part, even if they can't do so on Friday.
She said: "Getting young people involved in fundraising helps them understand a bit better."

Erin is also looking for volunteers to build up the relatively new fundraising team in South Tyneside. She can be contacted on 214 5444 or e-mail erichardson@macmillan.org.uk.
