Rare Cancer Support Guide 4 - Looking Ahead booklet
The Looking Ahead section of the Rare Cancer Support Guide can help you understand what to expect in this next chapter of your cancer experience. It shares the stories of others living life beyond treatment and provides advice on where to turn for support.
The Looking Ahead booklet covers:
- When treatment is over
Practical questions to ask, and adjusting to life after treatment - Your voice matters
What advocacy looks like, and if sharing your story is right for you - If cancer comes back or progresses
Things to consider, plus what palliative care actually is and how it can help
The advice comes directly from patients and carers who have been there, and from the knowledge of many health care professionals across the cancer care sector. It also includes the lessons we’ve learned at RCA over many years of supporting people living with rare cancer in Australia. Each translated version is bilingual and includes the English source text.
