When you have been told you have cancer or have found out that someone you know has cancer it can be really useful to have some information on what you are facing.  

Capricorn Young People hopes to provide you with some of the basic information to get you started on your journey of discovery and to point you in the direction of other places that can provide you with more specific and detailed information if you want to find out more. If you have been diagnosed with cancer there are a lot of people involved in your care that are very happy to answer you questions and queries so don’t be afraid to ask. 

The Information in the About You and the About It sections are adapted from 'Me and the Big C' booklet written by Marie Nugent and produced by the NI Cancer Fund for Children. We would like to thank Marie and the NI Cancer Fund for Children for their kind permission to use this information.
