General information on controlling the symptoms of cancer

This information has been written to help you understand more about some of the symptoms that may occur with cancer. Some are caused by the cancer itself and others are a result of treatment. You may have one or more of these symptoms, or none at all. Some of the symptoms are only likely to occur with particular types of cancer.
