Expert advice, 24 hours a day
When patients call, they speak directly with an oncology-trained nurse who can assess their concerns, provide appropriate advice and guide them on the next steps.
Patients who call should have their treatment details available if possible, including the name of their chemotherapy or immunotherapy treatment and when they last received it.
