Cancer information
The Waikato/Bay of Plenty Cancer Society is the region’s central point for information about any cancer. We aim to provide accessible and credible information about a range of cancer related topics, from cancer types to treatments and coping strategies.
Lending library
The Cancer Society’s information service and lending library can provide a comprehensive range of books and DVDs on topics including specific cancers and treatments, cancer care, coping strategies and prevention. If we don't have the information you're looking for, we'll do our best to source it for you.
In addition free information books on these topics are available from the Hamilton, Rotorua or Tauranga Cancer Society offices and the Cancer Society’s Lions Lodge.
