Getting Started with Cancer Treatment

Prior to starting your treatment, we require you to attend a ‘Getting Started with Cancer Treatment’ information session held at the cancer support charity Maggie’s. This will help you to prepare for chemotherapy, radiotherapy or immunotherapy treatment.

You are welcome to bring a family member or friend with you and there is a chance to ask questions you may have about treatment after watching a short information video.-No booking is required just come in.

The sessions take place in-person in Maggie’s, Glasgow and online.

In person sessions: Getting Started with Chemotherapy or Immunotherapy - Tuesday's from 11.30am and Friday's from 9.30am
