This information is for you if you are supporting a friend, family member or partner who has cancer. You probably want to help, but you might not know what you can do. This leaflet talks about the different stages of having cancer to help you understand what your friend, family member or partner is going through. We explain diagnosis, treatment and what happens after treatment. Each section has practical tips on how you can support the other person and suggestions for how to talk to them about what they are going through.
