Psychological and Support Services
A cancer diagnosis is overwhelming and stressful for the patient and family members. Often, available financial resources are used for treatment and prescription costs. Many national organizations have recognized the importance of psychological and support services to cancer patients and their family members. Additionally, being able to get away for rest and rejuvenation is important.
