Soft tissue sarcoma

Support when you have cancer

People with cancer may need a range of information and support at different times. The support needed can be:

physical
emotional
practical.

It is important to know that there are people and organisations that can help.

Support when you have soft tissue sarcoma

One of the main organisations that provides information and support for people with cancer is the Cancer Council. Their services include:

an Information and Support line, 13 11 20, which has specially trained staff available to offer support
a range of face-to-face, online and telephone support groups
a program called Cancer Connect where you can talk to someone who has experienced cancer
an online community for people with cancer and their families and friends.

Young people between the ages of 15 - 25 years can find information and support from Youth Cancer Services and Canteen.

You can also talk to the cancer care coordinator or social worker where you are being seen. They can tell you what services and support groups are available locally. Your GP may also be able to provide information about this.
