Supporting a Person Who Has Cancer

Supporting a Person Who Has Cancer

Supporting someone with cancer can be challenging. You may feel unsure of what to say or how to offer assistance, or, as a patient, express what is needed. In this seminar, specialists from the Upstate Cancer Center will cover how to offer practical, emotional, or spiritual support to someone with cancer, from the patient's perspective. They also will address tips for creating a care plan to help the patient manage their home, medical and self-care needs. Open to patients, family, friends, caregivers, and anyone interested in the topic.

Speakers: Kaushal Nanavati, MD, ABOIM, FAAFP, ABIHM, Assistant Professor of Medicine, Medical Director of Integrative Therapy, Upstate Medical University
Maureen Garvey, BSN, RNC, Patient Navigator, Breast Cancer Program, Upstate Cancer Center
Susan Tiffany, BSN, RN, OCN, Survivorship Navigator, Upstate Cancer Center
