Cancer Support & Survivorship
At Pardee Cancer Center, we understand that life after a cancer diagnosis requires extra support, care and vigilance. So, we’ve developed support and survivorship programs aimed at helping you overcome the physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual and nutritional challenges you may face during and after your treatment, as a cancer survivor.
Pardee Cancer Center and our cancer care navigators host special events for cancer survivors and their families each year. We also offer support groups to help cancer survivors with their healing and recovery process, their long-term wellness and disease prevention and their relationships with others.
Oncology Acute Care Clinic for Patients
Pardee is proud to support our cancer patients with an on-site Oncology Acute Care Clinic. This clinic offers same and next-day appointments from Monday through Friday, 8am - 5pm, to current Pardee Cancer Center patients who require immediate medical care for issues that may be related to side effects or complications from their ongoing cancer treatment.
Our dedicated oncology nurse practitioner offers several appointments each day to provide guidance and care for symptom management to help patients avoid unnecessary trips to the emergency room while maintaining a healthy quality of life.
Appointments are required. Call 828-694-4300, and select 1 for Oncology Hematology, then select 3 for Oncology nurse.
This clinic is not an emergency room. Call 911 immediately for medical emergencies such as chest pain, stroke symptoms, or severe shortness of breath, or if you feel you are experiencing a life-threatening problem.
Cancer Survivor Healing Assistance Program
Pardee Physical Therapy offers a comprehensive cancer survivor healing assistance program focusing on physical and emotional well-being. Our program helps you:
- Optimize your health during medical treatment and recovery
- Begin a rehabilitation program after completing medical treatment
The program uses evidence-based approaches that have been found successful in orthopedic and cardiac rehabilitation. Our team of specially trained professionals meets you where you are on your cancer journey and helps you achieve your goals for recovery.
Cancer Survivor and Caregiver Support Group
Dealing with the emotions that a cancer diagnosis brings can be overwhelming. The Between Friends at Pardee support group allows you time to speak freely in a supportive setting. This group is open to any person who has been diagnosed with cancer and their support person/caregiver.
Typically a speaker will join the group to talk to us about a particular topic on cancer-related issues or treatments, introductions to local resources or intro to a different program, which is followed by a group discussion. Check out our events calendar to see the full schedule and get information on how you can participate.
