Organiser to store individual's record

Two Manx charities have joined forces to help Island cancer patients.

A new organiser-style booklet launched today (21 Nov) allows patients to create a unique record of their cancer journey, from diagnosis through treatment.

Containing advice and information based on the Island's health service, individuals can adapt the booklet to their own needs.
