You can choose from a variety of treatment options, namely:

After-Treatment Care

• Multiple Options for Breast Reconstruction
• Breast Prosthesis
• Psychological Support

Throughout after-treatment care, you can turn to our educational and counseling staff and support groups to assist in your learning and participation. These are people who believe taking care of you involves looking at the whole person. We also encourage you and your family to use whatever resources you might need to assure your physical and emotional well-being. To address such a wide range of concerns, we offer:

• Close communication with your primary care physician
• Counseling for both you and those close to you
• Educational meetings to gain insight and understanding about cancer
• Support groups that allow you to learn and be comforted by the experiences of others that are coping with similar conditions
• A reference library of informative tapes and literature

Patient Participation

Throughout your treatment regimen, we strongly encourage your active participation, as well as the participation of your primary physician. We want you to be involved every step of the way and to learn all you can. Our goal is to give you the information you need to make well-informed choices for your care.
