Helpful Answers And Resources For Families

If you have been diagnosed with cancer, it's natural to feel concerned and even a bit frightened. You probably have many questions concerning treatment choices and decisions. Most likely, you find yourself constantly thinking, "How am I going to cope with side effects and when will I feel better again," followed often by "What can I do to prevent the cancer from returning."

If you live in Salt Lake County, you can depend on the Cancer Support Center at St. Mark’s Hospital. Our knowledgeable and experienced caregivers are here for you, your family and supportive friends - when you need us most.

Cancer Support Center In Salt Lake City

The St. Mark’s Hospital Cancer Support Center provides education, as well as emotional and social support to those who have a new diagnosis of cancer, to family members, or to someone whose cancer has recurred after many years. Our primary goal is to ease the stress and pain of living with cancer and to help patients and families live as normal a life as possible.

We help guide patients from the time of cancer diagnosis and treatment through the emotional healing process. Because cancer has many diverse forms and symptoms, our program includes a variety of support services and local resources, which include these:

• Support groups
• Education classes
• Internet access
• Library services
• Clinical trials information
