Help to have your voice heard

If you or someone close to you has been affected by cancer, you have the right to ask questions, share your views and be involved in decisions about your care. 

If you're finding it difficult to get your concerns heard, or things haven't gone as you expected, advocacy can help you understand your options and find the right support.

At Tenovus Cancer Care, we've brought together information and resources to help you speak up, understand your rights and find support when you need it.

What kind of advocacy support do you need?

Self-advocacy - Learn how to explain your concerns, prepare for appointments, ask questions and take a more active role in your care. 

Independent advocacy - Find out how an independent advocate may be able to help you express your views, understand your options and get your concerns heard.

Statutory advocacy - Learn about advocacy services provided under specific legal duties or eligibility criteria, and how to find out whether you're entitled to this support.

Not sure where to turn for support? If you're unhappy with the care or treatment you've received, finding it difficult to get your concerns heard, or simply not sure where to start, you don't have to work it out alone.

Explore our advocacy resources to understand your options, learn how to speak up and find the right support for you.
