Hello and Introduction

Cancer touches all of our lives in different ways.

It could be that you have had a cancer diagnosis or have a family member who is currently having treatment; perhaps you’ve had a scare, or maybe you’ve lost someone you love to cancer.

If we are affected by cancer, it is likely we have questions and need information to help us understand more about what it means for us, our family, and our friends.

The good news is that there is lots of information and help available about cancer. In this toolkit, we have brought many links and resources together to allow you to find the answers you need, when you need them.

This toolkit is for anyone who wants to know about cancer, and it aims to guide you at different stages of the cancer journey. Whether you want to know how to prevent cancer, or perhaps you’re starting treatment and would like to find out more about the types of treatment, or, maybe you’d like to know more about the different types of cancer – you can find information within this toolkit.

We hope you find this a useful guide. Please do get in touch with the team if you need any information that isn’t in this toolkit – you can contact us here: nwicb.cancerprogramme@nhs.net

If cancer is affecting you, please remember you are not alone. There are lots of resources out there to help you.
