One on one counseling is an important support service that professional oncology social workers at CancerCare provide everyday to people affected by cancer. Counseling from an oncology social worker–whether conducted face to face, over the telephone or online–can help a person cope with the myriad emotional and practical challenges of a cancer diagnosis and sort out complex and often confusing feelings you might be experiencing. A social worker can also help you with practical issues such as financial challenges, improving communication with your healthcare team, and finding helpful, reliable resources online and in your own community.
CancerCare is grateful for the support it receives from Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS), whose generous grant allows us to continue operating our toll-free help line for anyone facing cancer.
To speak with an oncology social worker, call us at 1-800-813-HOPE (4673).
