Cancer Support Services

» What is the Cancer Support Service?

The Cancer Support Service is an integral part of the Baptist Cancer Institute.  We believe that support and rehabilitation of cancer patients is as necessary as diagnosis and treatment for complete care.  Because a diagnosis of cancer can affect your life in so many ways, the staff of Cancer Support Services is available to help you and your family from the time of diagnosis through the end of treatment and for as long as you need our services.

» How can Cancer Support Services help?

We begin by providing you and your family with educational information you need to better understand your disease and its treatment.  Once treatment begins, we offer continuing emotional support to you and your family.  If financial problems arise, we try to link you with resources for which you may be eligible.  We are available to help you deal with concerns during treatment or any time afterwards.
