Patient resources
Pelican Cancer Foundation aims to save and improve lives by improving treatment, particularly surgery, for pelvic (bowel or colorectal, prostate and bladder) and liver cancers.
Though Pelican cannot provide any further information, advice or referral for patients directly (we do not have the expertise or resources within our charity offices to do so), we have gathered some information here that we hope may be helpful to patients and their families.
Under each type of cancer, the experienced consultants who make up the Pelican Cancer Foundation have answered some of the more frequently asked questions. Several patients have written about their experiences with cancer from diagnosis to treatment, and about their quality of life after treatment. You will also find a number of links to other relevant charities and organisations that may be able to provide direct patient support and with whom we regularly work.
