Cancer Patient Navigation Program
A cancer patient navigator can help you and your family understand the many challenges you may face and any questions you have about your cancer journey.
How will I know what treatment option to choose?
The cancer patient navigator will help you work through some of the challenges of cancer treatment.
The navigator will be able to:
- explain what you can expect during appointments and treatments;
- connect you with other professionals who can support you throughout your cancer care: social workers, dieticians, home care services and spiritual care providers;
- introduce you to community support groups specific to your cancer or to support programs like the Look Good Feel Better and Moving Forward programs; and
- help you sort out financial worries for travel and medication.
