Our Support

Support Services

At Cancer Care Associates, we know that cancer isn’t just a disease that affects the body. The journey through cancer treatment can have a deep psychological impact as well—sometimes long after treatment is finished. With this in mind, Cancer Care Associates offers patient support services to help our patients and their families psychologically manage the cancer experience. We also keep a list of the many support groups in the community that are available to cancer patients and their families. These support groups are an excellent way to privately share thoughts, feelings, and fears in an intimate and caring environment.
