When cancer won't go away

These free forums (formerly known as Living Well forums) provide people with advanced cancer, and their friends and families, the chance to speak with others in similar situations.

Topics covered

• Financial and legal issues
  A legal expert discusses issues relevant to long-term illness, including insurance (e.g. travel insurance), power of attorney, money management and access to credit and superannuation.
• Treatments and medical supports
  A medical oncologist will talk about current cancer treatments and different medical supports available for advanced cancer. Questions such as What happens when a person presents with an advanced cancer diagnosis? and Clinical trials - what are they, who do they benefit? are discussed.
• Family issues and living with uncertainty
  This session is conducted by a psychologist, who talks about coping with cancer and living with uncertainty.

It's FREE!
