Rarer Cancers: Access to Best Care

This information pack has been developed by the Rarer Cancers Forum. It lays out the rights of patients with cancer and points them in the direction of help and advice. It's our experience that many older patients (and many patients with cancer are older) don't have access to computers and search engines, or aren't confident using them. This pack gives information into the hands of patients and their families.

The development of the pack was supported by an educational grant from Pfizer Limited.

The pack is free for paid-up RCF members; for non-members the cost is £1 to cover postage and packing.

If you are eligible for a free pack please telephone us on 01227 738279 or email: contact@rarercancers.org.uk giving us your name and address for delivery and stating the title of the pack.  You can also write to us at the address below.

If you are a non-member, please send your name and address, the title of the pack and a cheque for £1 made payable to 'Rarer Cancers Forum' to: Rarer Cancers Forum, The Great Barn, Godmersham Park, Canterbury, Kent CT4 7DT.
