Organiser to store individual's record
Two Manx charities have joined forces to help Island cancer patients.
A new organiser-style booklet launched today (21 Nov) allows patients to create a unique record of their cancer journey, from diagnosis through treatment.
Containing advice and information based on the Island's health service, individuals can adapt the booklet to their own needs.
It will also come in useful at GP and hospital appointments, with space for notes and questions for consultations.
The booklet has been produced by the Cancer Service Users Forum and funded by the Isle of Man Anti-Cancer Association.
The Forum's chairman Derek Peters says it's an improvement on what's been offered to cancer patients in the past:
Two suspects in custody following Ramsey incident
Consultation open on plans to formally recognise the heritage of Douglas Head
Police dealing with 'serious incident' in Ramsey
Drop-in session to support Isle of Man charities
Fundraiser to keep St John Ambulance emergency fleet on the road
