- discussing treatment options
- offering emotional support
- providing information about sources of support
- offering advice on financial support – please ask. You may be eligible to claim for benefits
- helping you with symptom control
- linking with other members of the team involved with your care and treatment, both in hospital and the community.
Please inform the nurse specialist if you need help with any of the above.
