My Cancer Care Record

My Cancer Care Record is a resource that helps people affected by cancer (patients, carers, families and support people) to manage the information related to their care and treatment.  

It provides tips on questions and information to ask health professionals.  It can also assist you to record specific details that you may be frequently asked and find hard to remember.

The folder is aimed at helping with issues related to managing information when you have multiple treatments provided by multiple people, across different services and over long periods of time. It can assist you to be able to communicate across the variety of health care professionals involved in your care.

My Cancer Care Record can also help the clinicians working with you. It can provide easy access to information they often require such as:

copies of your test results and letters from other hospitals/doctors
current medication, medical and family history, current treatment schedules

details of side effects and symptoms you might have had since your last appointment
contact details of other clinicians involved in your care.
