Cancer Support & Survivorship
Resources to guide you through treatment and beyond
Resources and Support Throughout Your Cancer Journey
A diagnosis of cancer can feel overwhelming, and it’s natural to focus on the disease’s physical impact. But cancer affects your emotions as well. At times like this, finding a network of support is essential. Friends and family members can play an important role. So can other people who are walking a similar path.
Strong support can help you feel less isolated, process your feelings and maintain a more positive outlook. Research shows that support also can improve your overall health and quality of life during and after cancer treatment.
When you need help managing cancer-related concerns and symptoms, you can count on the cancer care experts at Anna Jaques Hospital. We are familiar with the challenges you face, and we’re here to listen. We can point you in the direction of additional resources here at our cancer center and in the community.
We can even introduce you to one of our pet therapy dogs who are often “on duty” in our outpatient care areas. Spending time with a therapy dog has been shown to help reduce stress levels. It’s hard not to smile when a furry friend is beside you as a faithful companion.
Another beneficial resource is physical therapy, which can help you manage side effects of treatment. Physical therapy, or PT, can offer pain relief, improve your health and function, and help you return to work and other activities.
Oncology Support Group
We invite you and your loved ones to join our Oncology Support Group at the Anna Jaques Cancer Center.
