Cancer support
How we work with these patients
Patients come to us before, during, and after oncology treatment, always alongside that care rather than instead of it.
Assessment covers medical history, current medications, recent laboratory work, and what the patient and family are hoping to achieve. Where a specialist is involved and the patient consents, we write to them.
What we may discuss at assessment
[Services that could form part of a pathway, framed as possibilities determined by assessment. Never presented as a protocol.]NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN, PREGNANT, AND LACTATING WOMEN
[Include where the product’s safety profile requires it.]If you’re arranging this for a parent or relative
Many of the people who contact us about this are family rather than the patient. We’ve written a separate page covering what to ask, what we can’t discuss by phone, and how it works if you’re overseas.
