Urgent symptoms need local emergency care

Understanding this cancer

Supportive care runs alongside treatment rather than replacing it: pain control, nutrition, management of side effects, and support for the family. Palliative care has the same aim of comfort and function and can start early, it is not limited to the end of treatment. Raise symptoms with the team as they happen, and ask for the plan in writing, including who to contact when something changes at home. This page is general information and is not advice for your situation.
