In light of the recent posts in different threads about cancer, I thought it'd be helpful to compile a list of support centres and organisations to help you and your families and friends.

Sometimes,despite extensive treatment, a patient with cancer may be given the news that their disease is now terminal.
At this stage,the team of doctors will consult with the local Palliative Care Team/Hospice Care Team to ensure that that the patient's comfort is continued in the most dignified way possible.
