Education and Support
Being informed about your diagnosis and receiving support during your experience with cancer are important parts of your treatment. There is no way to eliminate all of the emotions, worries and uncertainties of a cancer diagnosis. But when you speak with others who experience similar feelings, you can gain insight and strength often needed during this unexpected time in your life.
Many education and support programs are available at Humphrey Cancer Center, including:
- Patient-family educational services
