Even if you already have cancer, you may be able to reduce the severity of your condition by modifying your lifestyle, for example by improving your diet and not smoking. It is important that you seek appropriate medical advice to help manage your condition and follow this advice closely.
To talk to someone about cancer, you can ring the Cancer Council's Cancer Help Line on 13 11 20.
