Diagnosis
Once you’ve been diagnosed with cancer:
Support
Groups
– You will also be encouraged to attend a meeting
of the Chrysalis Club, a support group that meets once a month for those who
have been recently diagnosed with cancer
. Patient navigators and other survivors
will lead the group and answer your questions about how to cope, educating
yourself about cancer in general and your cancer specifically, resources
available to you and other helpful hints.
– Once diagnosed by a physician
connected with the LCRP, you may receive a Survivorship Organizer, a handy
carrying portfolio that will help you keep all the information about you and
your cancer organized and at your fingertips.
– Pocket labels include:
- Appointments
- Care Plan and Follow-up Care
- Research and Clinical Trials
- Chemotherapy/Radiation Side Effects
- Labs and Imaging
- Nutrition and Exercise
- Medical History
- Support Services
- Educational and Resource Materials
- Invoices and Insurance
- Financial Services.
– Each pocket contains useful information as well as a place to put the
information you gather during your diagnosis and treatment processes.
- To get a referral to an LCRP oncologist, call (912)
819-3360.
