Community support

Together for hope

When someone we love goes through cancer, honest support makes a difference. Here are tips quoted from trusted health sources, and the organisations to turn to.

How to stand by someone

Tips for family, friends and carers, quoted as their sources wrote them.

  1. If you have cancer, it’s normal to feel sad, angry, or discouraged sometimes and positive or upbeat at other times.

  2. Talk to someone you can really open up to about your feelings or fears.

  3. Think about things others can do or arrange for you, such as appointments or errands.

  4. If you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t be able to take care of others.

  5. Cancer support groups can also be helpful for children or family members.
