Education will be a personalized education session around the cancer and the treatment. It will cover what to expect and how to manage side effects. This personalized time frame will allow you and your carers to ask questions and get to know your practitioner so that you feel comfortable to call with any concerns.

This service will include a follow up call post cycle 1 of treatment to see how you are traveling and to answer any questions that you have. It will also cover follow up calls if you have presented to the emergency department or been discharged from hospital.
