Have symptoms ...see your GP
"People who have symptoms or signs of cancer, or who are concerned that their existing cancer is worsening during lockdown should still be able to access healthcare," Dr Chris Jackson, oncologist. People should contact their own GP in the first instance.
The Cancer Society, lost significant funding due to the cancellation of fundraising events, has redesigned its services to support people remotely, and the society's nurses are still available. The 0800 cancer information line (0800 226-237) remains fully-staffed so people can call to discuss any concerns or questions they may have.
One thing that has not changed, the Cancer Society's Domain Lodge continues to provide free accommodation for Northland cancer patients travelling to Auckland, although access to the building was restricted to protect patients and to ensure that everyone remained in a 'bubble'.
