About this booklet

You can learn about what will happen when you find out you have cancer.

 

If you are worried about your health, you should talk to a doctor or nurse.

 

We want everyone affected by cancer to feel our information is written for them. To do this we use plain English and we try to make it accessible and relevant to the widest range of people. Read more about how we produce our information.
