Wednesday June 9, 2010

The Cancer Society of New Zealand has published a new and revised version of their booklet about melanoma. Part of the 'Understanding Cancer' series, the booklet is entitled Melanoma Tonapuku: A guide for people with melanoma. This booklet has been written to support people with melanoma and their family/whanau. It gives information about diagnosis, treatment, practical support and the emotional impact of melanoma cancer.

While similar in purpose to the previous booklet of the same name, this edition includes some new content,  comments from people affected by melanoma, and has a new cover and layout. Copies are available on request from your local Cancer Society. Or you can access the booklet online in various formats on the Cancer Society website, or click the cover image at left for a pdf.
