We know that cancer can make people feel isolated and that the point of diagnosis can be an overwhelming time. Our new campaign aims to increase awareness of our 13 11 20 cancer support line and reminds patients and carers that they're not alone – an especially important message for people living in regional and rural areas.
If you're interested in sharing this campaign with your networks, please do so using the following assets. If you have any questions, please direct them to Tamara.Blackmore@cancervic.org.au.
