Clear cancer information and good questions can make a difficult diagnosis easier to navigate. LEMMO Integrated Cancer Care’s patient guides introduce the tests, treatment decisions and day-to-day concerns that differ between cancer types. They are written for people in Vancouver, British Columbia and across Canada, and for the family members and friends supporting them.
Start with the guide that matches your diagnosis. Bring your questions, pathology report, treatment plan and medication list to your healthcare team. The aim is to help you understand your options and take part in the conversation.
Integrative care brings supportive approaches into the discussion alongside conventional cancer care. The evidence, risks and goals of each approach need to be considered individually. It should not replace recommended treatment or promise a cure. Learn more from the Canadian Cancer Society on complementary therapies.
These guides provide general education. They do not diagnose symptoms, establish eligibility for a therapy or replace advice from your oncology team.
