Cancer Research UK *

Cancer Research UK help fund scientists, doctors and nurses to help beat cancer sooner. They also provide cancer information to the public.

Some hospitals offer a booklet to patients undergoing chemotherapy where you can log all of your appointments, keep track all of your blood test results and note down any side-effects you experience from chemotherapy. If your hospital doesn’t provide a booklet like this, you can get your own for free from Cancer Research UK.

This particular booklet also includes details of what the common side effects of chemotherapy are, how to treat any side effects, plus a detailed guide for when you should contact your 24-hour emergency/rapid response telephone number too. I wish I’d had one of these before I started chemotherapy.

Open to all UK cancer patients.
