It’s natural for patients who are undergoing treatment for breast cancer to have many questions, such as:
You don’t have to find the answers to these important questions alone. Your nurse navigator will be there to help you know what to expect throughout your breast cancer journey. Your nurse navigator can connect you with the help you and your family need, from home health aides for in-home care to assistance with tasks you may be unable to complete due to the side effects of your treatment, such as laundry and cleaning.
In addition to your nurse navigator, we offer a wide range of support services for patients during treatment, including:
