Cancer is a difficult condition to cope with. Both the disease and the treatment you may receive can have a major impact on your life, physically, mentally, emotionally and socially.
We produce a range of patient information that covers various aspects of cancer and cancer treatments. Take a look at our Cancer and treatment type pages to find out more about a specific cancer diagnosis' or treatment.
Cancer support service
The CUH Cancer Support Service consists of multi-skilled professionals who work closely with your clinical team, and can assist you with a wide range of non-clinical issues that you may be dealing with, such as advice, signposting, emotional, financial or practical support.
Patient information A to Z
There is a lot of information available through external charities. The department also creates its own patient information that you may find helpful.
Support we provide
REACT
The Rehabilitation and Exercise during Addenbrooke’s Cancer Treatment (REACT) programme is helping people with cancer to stay active following diagnosis and throughout their treatment.
Working with our partners and local services
We work closely with local services who can provide information, resources and space that you and your family may find useful before, during and after treatment.
