Treatment

Understanding cancer treatment

Cancer treatment can include surgery, radiotherapy, systemic anti-cancer therapy, or a combination of approaches.

Understanding what to expect can help people feel more prepared and supported.

Preparing for treatment

Support before treatment may include:

  • Information about what will happen
  • Physical preparation and exercise advice
  • Emotional and practical support

Being informed can help reduce anxiety and improve confidence.

During and after treatment

Support during and after treatment focuses on:

  • Managing side effects
  • Maintaining strength and wellbeing
  • Supporting recovery and follow-up

Your healthcare team can help you access the right support at each stage.
