The Oncology Guide

Cancer is a journey that no one wants, or ever thinks, they will be on. It’s a path on which we found ourselves with our own child. So we understand how overwhelming, confusing and worrying it is. We know that the journey is different for everyone – but one thing can help and that’s knowing a little bit more about what to expect; so that you can make decisions and be as prepared as you can for the treatments ahead. Our mission for The Oncology Guide is to do exactly this – provide a simple, safe and trusted resource for families to access information they need to help them navigate the start of their cancer journey. You’ll find films and animations to explain different cancers, common procedures and treatments. These procedure films, with their animations, are child-friendly and will help your child understand what is happening. You will also find details of some incredible charities who are on hand to help you with much needed things such as grants, disability badge applications, wigs, days out and much more. The Oncology Guide is not intended as a medical journal, but has been created with some excellent partners listed below to make sure everything on here is factually correct. Please always seek medical advice and consult your healthcare practitioner if you have questions.
