Reliable Website Information Information about your diagnosis and treatment can help you understand your disease and help you make decisions. There is a lot of information about various cancers and treatments available on the internet. Some of this is well researched and provides good information but some of it may not be correct. When you read health information from the internet it is always important to ask the following questions. The answers to these questions will help you to decide if the information you are reading is reliable and up-to-date. Who wrote the information and what are their qualifications? Where did the information come from? When was it written? Peter Mac does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of the information provided by these organisations.
