Oncology Education and Support Services:
| "If we can help someone understand
what theyre going through, we can help alleviate their anxiety and help improve
their outcome." Camille
Frasier, R.N.
Cancer Educator |
This important component of our Cancer Center services is designed to meet the
educational and support needs of cancer patients and their families beginning with
diagnosis and continuing through treatment and recovery. Through the program, cancer
patients are assigned a personal oncology nurse who works with them and their families
from diagnosis through treatment, providing information and, most important, a shoulder to
lean on.
Among the services offered are the Uniquely
You Boutique and Salon, which provides mastectomy fittings and specialized hair and
skin care to cancer patients, and a variety of support
groups for patients and their families.
For more information on these services, please call (518) 926-6639.
