Cancer information

There are many places on the web that you can find more information on cancer and living with cancer. Here are some of the sites that we recommend as a starting point:

For Information, Advice and Support

CancerHelp UK

Reliable, easy to understand patient information from Cancer Research UK. Cancer help is in our opinion one of the most comprehensive sites for information that we have found.

Macmillan Cancer Support

Macmillan merged with Cancerbackup in 2008 andprovide quality assured, up-to-date cancer information, written by specialists for patients, relatives and carers.

Local Hospitals

South Tyneside District Hospital

Northern Centre for Cancer Care

NCCC at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle is where everybody in the North East goes for radiotherapy and some chemotherapy.

Sunderland City Hospitals

where some South Tyneside people go for treatment of Head & Neck, Urological and Haematological cancers.

Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Gateshead

where women from South Tyneside  may go for treatment of Breast and Gynaecological cancers.
