We have been invited to be part of a global community conversation on cancer control. You can find more info here
To be part of this conversation we need to comment on 4 different questions.
This is the first question we would like to hear your comments on:
Regarding cancer systems, what do you think is working well or not so well?
The monitoring of the illness by both patient and doctor.
In my opinion communication is the biggest let down. Ensuring tests that are required 3 monthly or 6 monthly are taken, communicating accurately the current state of the illness to the patient.
