Oncology rehabilitation
Cancer treatment can cause adverse symptoms that may be difficult to cope with. We help with this by providing comprehensive rehabilitation services before, during and after treatment. We also provide lymphedema therapy and pelvic floor rehabilitation.
Cancer support groups
It's important to have a network of people around you to offer support and encouragement during your cancer journey. Your nurse navigator can help you find support groups in your area. One resource they may recommend is the American Cancer Society.
