Patient and Family

While the oncology team exists to serve the needs of the patient and family they are also members of the team.  They help direct and guide the team and can make suggestions and requests like all other members of the team.

Family is an inclusive term that includes the immediate and extended family as well as close friends and ’family of choice’.  Cancer causes a ripple effect that touches all members of the patient’s personal and work life.
