Beyond Medical Treatment
Until now, you probably never
considered the many issues and
challenges that arise with a diagnosis
of cancer. Columbia St. Mary’s offers
many support services to help you deal
with almost any type of problem that
might occur.
Support Groups
Columbia St. Mary’s offers
various support groups throughout the
year regarding women and cancer. Some
educational offerings include:
-
Look Good, Feel Better
-
Managing Fatigue, Chemo and
Other Side Effects of Cancer and
Treatment
For more information about these
classes, please call (414) 963-WELL
(9355).
Oncology Rehabilitation Therapy
People diagnosed with cancer are living
longer than ever before mainly due to
earlier detection and more effective
cancer treatment. We have oncology
rehabilitation therapists, individuals
who are specially trained in the area of
cancer rehabilitation, who help you
through the entire continuum of care.
Their goal is to enhance the quality of
life and improve the functioning of
individuals and families affected by
cancer.
Oncology Exercise Program
Occupational and physical
therapists with specialized training in
oncology rehabilitation are available to
develop individualized exercise programs
to help increase muscle strength and
flexibility, and decrease side effects
of cancer treatments.
For more information about oncology
rehabilitation therapy and our oncology
exercise program, call (414) 961-4160.
