Here are a few pieces of information which new patients have found useful to know:

• Cancer is a common disease which can strike anyone at any age
• Cancer affects everyone in a different way. Your treatment may be different than the treatment received by someone you know who's had cancer; please refer to Patient/Public Information
• Your cancer may not behave in the same way as it does for another person
• Our team recommends treatment for each individual based on that person's particular case and needs
• Your experience as you deal with cancer may affect your family and friends. Our team is available to help them also.
• Should you experience side effects from your treatment, our team will help you cope.
