Adaptive Assistance Devices For Cancer Patients
Often cancer treatment can result in the loss of a limb, or other body part such as a breast having to be removed. This can be psychologically and emotionally distressing for the patient. Many national organizations have responded to meet the financial and emotional costs and provide cancer patients adaptive/assistive equipment to help the cancer patient enjoy a full life. The resources listed offer choices in finding the right adaptive/assistive devices and equipment to meet your specific needs.
