In cancer services, so much attention quite rightly goes into diagnosis, treatment decisions and clinical appointments. 

But for many patients and carers, the most difficult moments happen quietly in between.

To support teams with this challenge, two practical resources have been created focused specifically on care between appointments.

Because that is when questions build up. Symptoms change. Worries grow legs. People are often unsure who to contact, or whether their concern is important enough to raise.

Even in strong services, this in-between time is where uncertainty lives. It can lead to distress for patients and carers, and additional pressure for cancer support teams through repeat calls, DNAs and reassurance seeking.
