Breast Cancer Patient Support Resources

Women diagnosed with breast cancer are often overwhelmed by information, treatment options, life changes and emotional stress. A new patient coordinator works closely with nurses and other Breast Cancer Program staff to make sure you get all the appointments, tests, treatments, services and support you need.

Cancer Support Services

We understand that a cancer diagnosis is a life-changing experience We offer a full range of cancer-specific support services to address your emotional and physical needs, along with financial concerns, spiritual wellness, fertility and more. Locations can vary, but patients at any of our cancer centers can access support services at other Cancer Network locations. For more information, talk with your physician or nurse. Additionally, ABCD, or After Breast Cancer Diagnosis, is an organization that pairs newly diagnosed women with mentors who help women get through treatment and beyond. 

Breast Cancer Cognitive Evaluation Service

Some cancer patients experience changes in cognition or their ability to think. The Breast Cancer Cognitive Evaluation Service is a unique resource that helps detect cognitive changes early and provide women with assistance and interventions to alleviate cognitive challenges.
