Health advice and resources
We know it can feel overwhelming when you’re affected by cancer or undergoing tests. Our goal is to support you through your cancer journey, providing all the information you need.
Getting advice and information
We believe care should be focused on you, the individual, not just your condition and we’re here to help guide you through your cancer journey. If you’ve been recently diagnosed, are going through treatment or caring for someone with cancer, we can help with advice about managing your health and where to go for support or more information.
The information below may answer some of your more general questions about medical terminology and accessing care. There is also nutrition advice to help you manage side effects and a list of organisations that provide support for people living with cancer.
