that we do!

Wondering which doctor to see?
You can go to your family doctor or local General Practitioner (GP) for them to check your your symptoms and rule out anything serious. They will do some tests or biopsies to do this.
If they find that it is cancer or you need to have more specialised tests done, they will refer you to an oncologist.
