Aboriginal Cancer Journeys

Our stories of kinship, hope and survivalThe cover of the Aboriginal Cancer Journeys book

Aboriginal Cancer Journeys is a book of stories from Aboriginal people affected by cancer. We hope their cancer experiences will encourage other Aboriginal people who have cancer or are caring for someone with cancer.

Aboriginal Cancer Journeys was produced by the Aboriginal Health and Medical Research Council in collaboration with Cancer Council NSW.

The booklet features the art work of Adam Hill, now known as Blak Douglas, a descendant of Mid-North Coast peoples, to represent the experiences of people interviewed for this book.
