Receiving a cancer diagnosis can be devastating for you and your loved ones. We know that a diagnosis of cancer affects not only the physical body, but also the emotional, social and spiritual aspects of a person and their loved ones.
Most people find that becoming knowledgeable about cancer and its treatment, understanding the various members of their health care team, and receiving support for the emotional and practical issues related to the cancer helps to ease their distress.
CancerCare Manitoba's Patient and Family Support Services has skilled professionals with many years of experience to help and support you and your loved ones in all these areas.
We want to make you aware of the many resources that are available to you. The links to the left give you a sense of the scope of these services - please take a little time to look around.
If you cannot find what you are looking for, please do not hesitate to call us at (204) 787-2109 or Toll Free, at 1-866-561-1026.
