Care and Support
In addition to providing clinically superior day-to-day and longer term care and support for breast cancer patients through the expertise of our multidisciplinary team, we offer access to BIDMC’s extensive network of cancer support resources, including Windows of Hope, a specialty shop offering products and services specifically for cancer patients; Patient-to-Patient, Heart-to-Heart, a cancer peer support program at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical (call them at 617-667-2661); and support groups dedicated to women diagnosed with breast cancer.
Support groups can be geared toward patients who are newly diagnosed, undergoing treatment, or who have finished treatment.
We also have a staff of exceptional oncology social workers who specialize in working with women with breast cancer.
In addition, there are numerous other support and informational sources. Many of these can be found in our resources information for indiividuals newly diagnosed,with breast cancer, during treatment, and after treatment sections.
