Not everyone who comes to the cancer centre will have treatment. Your Oncologist (cancer doctor) will talk with you about whether treatment for your cancer is no best option. Some of the Oncologists who work at the cancer centre also specialize in non-cancer diagnoses (e.g. blood diseases that are not cancer). If you have questions about your diagnosis ask your health care team.
