Some interesting documentation on Cancer

What a treasure trove the Australian Government has proven to be when it comes to finding information which is likely to be of assistance to carers and people who are ill with cancer.

Take for example the site:

http://www.nhmrc.gov.au/publications/subjects/cancer.htm

At this site there is a list of some publications on the subject and it shows what policies, guidelines and documents are current, under review or rescinded.

Great site to visit even though some of the documents are long.

For example take Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Psychosocial Care of Adults with Cancer

It is 246 pages long but well worth the look or the download if you - as a consumer of health services for cancer want to know about what these guidelines are suggesting to the practitioners that will be providing services for you.
