Going Through the Fight

Every cancer journey is unique, and going through the fight can feel overwhelming. At Parkway Cancer Centre, we believe that knowledge and support can make this journey less daunting.

From understanding the different cancer treatments and side effects of chemotherapy to caring for your physical and emotional health, we are here to guide you every step of the way.

Understanding Cancer Treatment

Learn about the different types of cancer treatment and how chemotherapy works to fight cancer cells. We also explain how chemotherapy is commonly administered, so you know what to expect during your sessions. Understanding these basics can help reduce anxiety and give you a clearer picture of your treatment plan.

Side Effects of Chemotherapy

Discover the most common side effects of chemotherapy and practical tips to manage them. From fatigue and nausea to changes in appetite, you will understand what is normal and when to seek help. With the right strategies, you can minimise discomfort and maintain your quality of life during treatment.

Food Safety

Food safety is an important part of your cancer care. During treatment, your immune system may be weaker, making you more vulnerable to infections. Learn simple yet crucial food safety practices, such as, proper handling, cooking, and storage, to reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses. You will also find guidance on making safe choices when dining out.

Managing Emotional Stress

A cancer diagnosis affects more than just your body. It impacts your emotions and relationships too. Building resilience and coping with stress are essential parts of the cancer journey. You will find practical self-care tips for both patients and caregivers, and learn where to access support through our programmes. Remember, you are not alone. Help is always available to guide you through this challenging time.
