A new brochure "Finding the words - starting a conversation when your cancer has progressed" has been produced by the National Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre (NBOCC), a national coordination centre funded by the Australian government to improve breast cancer outcomes through the translation of research evidence into policy and practice. The booklet is designed to help women with secondary cancer talk about how palliative care might help them to live as well as possible when their cancer has spread.This booklet highlights that palliative care is not just about end of life treatment but about helping relieve symptoms and improve day to day life for cancer sufferers. NBOCC resources are available free of charge within Australia.
