Cancer can change your life in unexpected ways. You may need to understand side effects, take part in physical therapy, or seek additional support to manage the emotional impact cancer has had, and is still having, on your life.
You do not have to go through this alone. Fred Hutch Cancer Center is here to help you thrive and to provide continuing care and support for years to come. Whether your cancer is gone and you’re in recovery or you’re a survivor still living with the disease, you can count on us.
Fred Hutch Offers Help With Effects of Your Cancer and Treatment
Fred Hutch offers screenings, prevention recommendations and help with the effects of your cancer and treatment.
We encourage you to participate in one of our follow-up programs for cancer survivors. Even if your cancer has been cured, there may be long-term effects from it or its treatment. As a survivor, you are at higher risk for a secondary cancer; Fred Hutch can help you manage that risk.
