| Care
of the Breast Cancer Patient
If
you are diagnosed with breast cancer, we can help
you through the process from the beginning of
your treatment through your follow-up care and
journey back to health and wellness.
We offer the latest treatments for
breast cancer including: surgical intervention
for breast cancer, access to immediate or postoperative
chemotherapy, radiation services including short
term radiation with the mammosite catheter, neoadjuvant
and adjuvant chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and
access to clinical trials.
If breast cancer surgery is required,
our practice performs breast-conserving lumpectomies
on approximately 70 percent of women – far
more than the national rate. Our nurse practitioner
is available to answer questions, concerns, give
support and help link you to available local and
community resources.
After a woman with breast cancer
has received the appropriate treatments, she will
continue to be followed by our office. Our integrative
approach includes a certified lymphedema specialist,
massage therapist, nutritionist, social worker,
and psychologist. We know that just because the
treatments stop, the anxiety doesn’t. We
are here to give you the support and close follow-up
care that you need.
