ROVING team of specialists will stop in Oxfordshire to offer cancer-related support and advice.

Macmillan Cancer Support will bring its mobile team to the county next week, visiting five towns.

Cancer experts will be on hand to answer questions and anyone is welcome to attend.

"We’d be happy to help and answer any questions you may have about cancer and how it is affecting your life."

Specialists will be aboard a green bus and anyone with worries or concerns about cancer is encouraged to visit.
