Cancer Tools & Resources

In this section

You are not alone when you or a loved one receives cancer treatment at the Holy Cross Health Cancer Institute. Along with your cancer care team and support services, we offer additional resources and tools you may find helpful as you move from diagnosis and treatment to cancer survivorship. We’ll be with you every step of the way.

Our Cancer Institute resources include a patient guide, online cancer health library, tools to download and a list of cancer consumer and research websites. We’ve assembled this information based on our experience and input from cancer survivors and their families.

Breast Cancer Patient Guide

The Cancer Institute developed a comprehensive patient guide to breast cancer that includes information useful to all cancer patients. The guide features information on coping with cancer, dealing with treatment side effects, the type of health professionals who might be part of your cancer care team, and community resources. Learn more from the Breast Cancer Patient Handbook.

We’ve developed user-friendly tools we hope will be helpful – including a list of questions to ask your doctor and a glossary. Holy Cross Health also has tools aimed at prevention and wellness. You can check out our tools and print copies to take with you when needed:
