At present I am asking ALL clients to complete this additional form:

If you live with cancer or have had cancer in the past, please can you complete the following form as well so I can assess whether treatment is safe for you & if so how best to treat you safely.

Please email completed forms back to me using the button / email address below. The forms can either be filled as Word documents or printed out and filled in by hand.

Please note I do not cure cancer & work in line with the Cancer Act 1939. My aim is to work with you & other health professionals involved in your health care & support in order to improve quality of life, address side effects where appropriate & reduce stress & anxiety associated with living with cancer.
