Patient support
Receiving a cancer diagnosis can stop everything in its tracks. While you’re understandably focused on treating your disease and healing, don’t forget about the most important person in this journey: You. Remember, taking care of yourself is just as important as your treatment.
At HonorHealth Cancer Care, we offer a wide range of support tailored just for you. Navigating the world of cancer care can be overwhelming, especially with the good intentions of advice and stories from loved ones. What you really need is a dedicated team on your side. That's where we come in.
Our team of navigators, financial counselors, social workers, nutritionists and genetic counselors is here to guide you through every step, providing the expert support you need to focus on what matters most: your recovery.
Support after a cancer diagnosis
Navigating your treatment and support options can feel overwhelming. Our navigators are here to help you understand your disease, answer any questions and guide you in communicating effectively with your care team.
You’ll learn what to expect during treatment and how to access needed resources. No question is too small, whether you need advice on a soothing smoothie or how to talk to your child about your illness. We're here to help with all your needs.
Your cancer journey is unique, and support isn't one-size-fits-all. At this stage, focus on asking questions, exploring services and sharing concerns with your care team. We’re here to support you with your health, family, insurance, finances and more.
Support during your treatment
Throughout your cancer treatment, your well-being is our top priority. We're here to support you by caring for the whole you — nurturing your emotional health, helping you stay grounded in your daily routine and finding moments of normalcy amid the changes.
Your cancer care team is here to guide you, connecting you to vital support services. During treatment, having a trusted resource can make all the difference. They will help you:
- Understand your medications and manage your side effects.
- Talk about ways to ask your doctors questions and collaborate with them on your treatment plan.
- Manage your treatment and survivorship plan.
- Meet with a nutritionist to design a plan for proper nutrition when you're not feeling your best.
- Go beyond appointments, assisting in infusion rooms, procedures and inpatient rounds to ensure every detail of your care is covered.
Enhance your healing journey with resources designed to support your mind and body:
- Support your well-being with mindful movement and meditation with our complementary therapies.
- Quench your thirst for knowledge via our library which offers books and other resources for understanding your disease.
Treatment is just the beginning of your recovery — rediscovering your energy and living life on your terms.
Our oncology rehabilitation services are designed to support your body and mind as you heal, regain strength and reclaim your spark. Whether it’s recovering from surgery, improving mobility or boosting confidence, we’ve got you covered.
Support for cancer survivorship
After completing treatment, your cancer journey may seem to come to an abrupt halt. However, survivorship is a time of adjustment, with resources and support available to guide you, including cancer survivor support groups. As you enter this new chapter, your navigator will go over your new care plan with you, which will include:
- Key questions to ask your doctor.
- What to expect moving forward, like scheduling future cancer screenings, finding support, managing everyday stresses and handling concerns about recurrence.
- How to talk to your children, family and friends about survivorship. They’ll likely have questions, and you’ll want to feel confident in your answers.
Your navigator is here for you throughout your treatment. In a simple consultation, they’ll get to know you and your diagnosis, helping you explore all available services. The goal is to ensure you have the support and information you need every step of the way.
