The guides (formerly known as What to expect) have been developed to help patients identify the steps and recommended care at each stage of their cancer journey, from diagnosis through to treatment and beyond.
Access to supportive care and allied health is essential across all steps of the pathway, including emotional and practical support.
These new resources can help patients understand what assistance is available to help enhance the benefits of treatment and increase their quality of life, like Virginia.
For Virginia Prosser, a grandmother of seven, our support services provided a helping hand when it was needed most.

We support the call issued today from the WA Branch of the Public Health Association of Australia (PHAA) for all parties to #ThinkPublicHealth in to lead up to the State Election.
Two of the priorities from the PHAA are of particular interest to us given their links to risk factors associated to cancer. These include calls for the State Government to:
Introduce an immediate ban on advertising of unhealthy food and drink on all state-owned assets, including public transport and public transport waiting areas, children’s sporting events and all venues where families gather.
Introduce a minimum unit price for alcohol that is applied per standard drink for all alcohol products to reduce the prevalence of injury, family violence, chronic diseases, child abuse, road trauma and cancer.
