One of the main organisations that provides information and support for people with cancer is the Cancer Council.

Their services include:

• an Information and Support line, 13 11 20, which has specially trained staff available to offer support
• a range of face-to-face, online and telephone support groups
• a program called Cancer Connect where you can talk to someone who has experienced cancer
• an online community for people with cancer and their families and friends.

There are also other organisations that support for people affected by liver cancer:

• The Liver Foundation has a nurse-led support line for primary liver cancer as well as online information. The support line number is 1800 841 118.
• Rare Cancers Australia offers practical and emotional support to people with rare cancers, including liver cancer. They can be contacted on 02 4862 2768.
• The Pancare Foundation supports patients, carers and families affected by liver cancer and other upper gastrointestinal cancers. They can be contacted on 1300 75 50 50.

You can also talk to the cancer care coordinator or social worker where you are being seen. They can tell you what services and support groups are available locally. Your GP may also be able to provide information about this.
