Managing the symptoms of cancer

This booklet is about some of the symptoms you may have if you have cancer. It describes ways to help manage them. You may have one or more of these symptoms, but you’re unlikely to have more than a few. Most symptoms can be well controlled with the help of your healthcare team, your family and your friends.

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.
