Cancer Support Services

Going through — and recovering from — cancer treatment can be difficult on the body, mind and soul. Legacy Cancer Institute provides complete support in a variety of ways, depending on your needs and interests. 

We offer support services during all stages of your cancer journey – from diagnosis through treatment and recovery:

• Pharmacy navigator to review your medications and address medication issues.

• Massage therapy by a certified oncology massage therapist, to help with relaxation, stress management, symptoms and side effects.

• Stress management provides support for coping with the emotional aspects of the cancer experience.

• Cancer groups, education and movement classes for patients and their families. We offer a range of free classes and groups to help you through diagnosis, treatment and recovery of cancer. These provide education, activities and emotional support.
