We are all volunteers with varying backgrounds and experiences

Who are we?

We are all people who want to help improve the lives of those affected by cancer. Our work builds on our own experience with cancer, including past and current involvement as patients, family, carers and friends. Our experience may be from one type of cancer, but our focus at Cancer Voices NSW is on the broad range of issues that arise following any cancer diagnosis.
