Dr Geoffrey Hawson MBBS FRACP FAChPM

I am registered as a Medical Oncologist, Clinical Haematologist and Palliative Care Physician, and have over 40 years medical experience including as Director of Oncology, Haematology and Palliative Care at large public hospitals in Brisbane, Redcliffe and the Sunshine Coast, as well as in private practice. In 2008 I was awarded Eminent Specialist by Queensland Health and have been an Associate Professor with the University of Queensland since 1993. I have treated a broad range of cancers, including of the breast, bowel, lung, pancreas, prostate and liver. I have contributed to research trials on the most effective cancer treatments, and helped train many cancer specialists. I am particularly interested in mind body wellness and offer medical hypnosis for cancer-related symptoms such as pain and nausea and hot flushes in chemotherapy-induced menopause.

Support for individuals who choose alternative therapies for cancer

There often appears little medical support for individuals who choose to forgo conventional medical treatment for cancer. If you’ve chosen an alternative therapy path for cancer, I offer the opportunity to discuss your treatment choice and receive ongoing support and monitoring from a sympathetic and caring medical oncologist.

Alternative Therapy Monitoring

Have you decided on alternative therapy rather than conventional medical treatment for your cancer?

Choosing whether or not to undergo medical treatment for your cancer can be a difficult decision. If you’ve chosen an alternative therapy path but would still like ongoing monitoring of your cancer by a Medical Oncologist, I can provide monitoring and support in a caring and non-judgemental manner.
