Helpful Resources

We believe education is one of the necessary tools for your success in managing your disease and treatment. You will be equipped with information to help you throughout your treatment and recovery. If your physician has prescribed chemotherapy, you will receive a personal education session to teach you and your family about the treatment plan, chemotherapy and side effects. Additionally, our cancer care team has extensive knowledge of cancer-related challenges and can provide you with resources about the various types of cancers and their treatments.
