  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    You may be given your hospital version of a 'My Treatment Plan' booklet by your hospital care team.

    Cancer Research UK also produce a Your Treatment Record which some hospitals are using.

    Do ask your treatment team about it. Some of your information may also be available on your NHS App.

    I hope this is useful,

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Yours sincerely,

    Vanda

  • Hello Claire1977 and thank you for your further post,

    A lot of hospitals do provide treatment records now but this does vary, so do ask your team where you will be having treatment. Otherwise, you are welcome to use one of our treatment records that my colleague has linked you to. 

    Take care and all the best,

    Jemma.
