 At First Coast Oncology we
understand that treating a patient's physical illness is
only part of the battle. The journey through the cancer
experience involves many challenges. After cancer
treatments are completed, many patients feel anxious
about the future as they move from the identity of a
cancer patient to a cancer survivor. First Coast
Oncology developed a program, Celebration for Survival,
to help patients with this transition and celebrate
their major accomplishment of surviving cancer. Patients
are invited to participate in this free program focusing
on the celebration of life. The following benefits are
available to First Coast Oncology patients.
*Upon the completion of the course
of treatment, patients will receive a Survivor's Packet
with valuable information on survivorship and a
congratulatory certificate.* The opportunity to attend free
educational luncheons called, A Reason for Celebration.
These sessions host local experts who speak on a variety
of pertinent topics and the latest advancements on
cancer treatment and prevention. *A newsletter called Moving
Forward that includes information about volunteer and
educational opportunities and social events that occur
throughout the year.*The opportunity to participate in
peer-to-peer counseling, local cancer events, and
speaking engagements that use personal success stories
as a way to reach others on the benefits of early cancer
detection and prevention.Celebration for Survival is a
wonderful way to meet new people that share the common
theme of battling and surviving cancer as they face
forward to enjoy their future. The more involved that
you become, the greater benefits you will
receive.
