A family member has cancer and is going in for a major operation in a few days.
She has asked MacMillan Nurses for advice in relation to her condition over the past weeks and has previously been a donor.
This morning she has received a letter from them offering a free will writing service and the opportunity to make Macmillan a beneficiary of it.
She was rather hoping not to die during her operation.
So, which of the above is it?

May be sent in error, but saying that my dad passed away from brain cancer in June and during the last 6 months received both MacMillian and Hospice care, until you are in the thick of it you don't realise how important both are not only for the patient but family as well. My father wasn't in a fit state to change his Will to leave them something but he wanted to and in total we donated over £30k. The reality of it was his end of life was managed by the hospice and Macmillan rather than the NHS directly and I am forever grateful to the care hospice and Macmillan gave to my dad and the family.

My aunt was a District Nurse, when then moved over to Macmillan Nursing.
It was a new degree of hard for her, visiting patients who pretty much without fail were going to die. Some dealing with it better than others. In my view it takes a special kind of person to provide that care and to dismiss an entire organisation which does so much good for the patients is just wrong.

Genuinely glad to hear about the positive impact they’ve made for people.
I feel annoyance every time I hear their name following a single minor negative interaction with one of their nurses at an emotional time.
Although it does look like they’ve been insensitive again. Hmm.
I think possibly their commercial side and nursing side are divergent.I feel annoyance every time I hear their name following a single minor negative interaction with one of their nurses at an emotional time.

They have been quite disrespectful about bombarding me with spam, after I once donated a lump sum. Even after writing to the CEO the almost daily spam continued. But I know their nurses do a good job.
Its not the best of timing, and people are often sensitive about talking about death.
However, its is likely coincidence "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." most things are incompetence rather than conspiracy, and making a will is an important thing to do, and funding has to come from somewhere.
No service is perfect, but they MacMillan Nurses where a lifesaver to my partners family when her father passed away earlier this year.
