Living with cancer

Pick your cancer type and see what works and what could work.

Tick the questions to ask for your cancer, add your own, and print or download one page for the appointment.

Start from the symptom: which treatments cause it, how often, and when to call.

Start from a worrying symptom: what it can mean, which test comes first, and the referral thresholds guidelines state.

Type the values from a pathology report and read what each one means. Nothing is stored.

Late effects to watch for after each treatment, the screening test, how often, and the guideline that says so.

Expert centres for your cancer in your country, the people who work on it, and how referral works where you live.

Manufacturer programmes, reimbursement and generics by country and product, plus national schemes and charities.

Medicare Part B or D, prior authorisation, list prices and assistance programmes for every approved product.

NICE, Cancer Drugs Fund and SMC decisions for every approved product, and how NHS cancer care works.

What people eat, drink, weigh and do: what the evidence says and what is hype.

Treating the person, not just the tumour: symptoms, side effects, nutrition, mental health.

The patients, families, advocates and pioneers whose lives and cases changed cancer.
