No other disease evokes the quality of anxiety and fear as does cancer. This is something which cannot be excised with the scalpel. We combat it with hope through a "team approach." We provide total patient care to help the body heal while not overlooking the mind and spirit. Our patients are in charge of the team. Our mission is to pursue understanding and to seek the optimal therapy and outcome for your illness. We emphasize patient and family education and recognize our patients are the most important members of the team.

It is only through knowledge that our patients can take charge of the team and make the decisions about their care which are best for them.

• Bring family and/or friends to your appointment. They are often a great source of support, and their early involvement provides them with a greater understanding of how they might help you.
• Ask questions. Write down your questions as you think of them and bring them with you.
• Learn all you can. We provide many resources for your education
• There is a library in our office with materials that can be checked out by patients or family members
