Imagine your doctor tells you that you have cancer. What would go through your mind, would you or the loved ones accompanying you be able to hear anything else the doctor says after that? These illustrated pads are given to doctors and consultants in order to help explain a diagnosis to a patient which they can take with them and comprehend in their own time. The pads were commissioned by Cancerbackup, a frank, candid, and honest charity which has subsequently merged with Macmillan Cancer Support.
