The Oncology Nutrition Service is available to address concerns both during and after treatment. Our staff offers assistance in managing side effects of treatment such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting or weight gain. After treatment, individual counseling and group education is also available on such topics as weight reduction, low fat diets, healthier eating, and specific nutrition questions. Survivor volunteers promote early detection, by speaking in their community on breast cancer causes and behaviors to reduce risk. These volunteers are trained by the Breast Center Education staff and many are certified as Breast Health Educators by the American Cancer Society.
Volunteers provide one to one support to newly diagnosed patients.
Volunteers assist with the planning, coordination, and execution of many of our educational conferences, fund raisers, and survivor events.
