Support between appointments, treatment and difficult days
Cancer care does not only happen in hospital. Much of the daily weight lands at home.
Care can support meals, comfort, washing, medication routines, companionship and family relief.
If symptoms change suddenly, speak to the GP, oncology team, palliative team or urgent services as appropriate.
