Other Concerns

A diagnosis of cancer often causes anxieties and fears in patients and their family members. This is a normal reaction. We can provide you Information which will guide you in seeking emotional support and enable you to access community resources. This information can be as simple as additional reading materials to help you learn more about your specific cancer, may include health insurance information, information about the benefits of home care, information about cancer support groups in the community, or how to apply for medical disability and medical assistance. Our nurse will assist you in finding these sources and will explain further resources that may be helpful during your radiation therapy. Referrals can also be made to chaplains or mental health agencies for more in-depth emotional or spiritual support. Feel free to ask our nurse at any time for any information.
