Support Services

Nutrition Services

Cancer and cancer treatment often make eating difficult. Some patients lose weight or have trouble eating foods that provide the right energy. You may also experience some nausea, vomiting, constipation or diarrhea. However, ensuring your nutritional needs are met is all the more important for maintaining strength during cancer treatment.

SCCC dieticians can evaluate your dietary needs and make special recommendations to help you get the calories and nutrients you need to maintain a healthy weight. Good eating also strengthens your immune system in its fight against cancer, the effects of treatment and any infections that may develop.

Patient Navigator

SCCC patient navigators actively guide patients through the health care system. Through one-on-one contact, the patient navigator has been trained to work with patients to help them solve problems and overcome barriers that might keep them from getting the care they need.

Social Services

Your cancer diagnosis can affect your life in many different ways. Social workers are available to help patients cope with the stress of the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. They provide counseling to both you and your family in finding support groups of other cancer-related services, and often help coordinate a hospital discharge and follow up care.
