Understanding Cancer booklets and brochures
Ann Fletcher, cancer carer, Kurmond NSW
“When my partner was diagnosed with bowel cancer we would refer to the Cancer Council's Understanding Food and Cancer and Eating Well booklets regularly. They were very useful and after reading them we were motivated to see a dietitian for further advice on dealing with eating problems caused by cancer.”
