Coping with cancer can often feel like a lonely and difficult journey. Cancer can impact your life in many ways – physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially. It is very common to have intense and confusing emotions.

 

The Florida Hospital Cancer Institute is committed not just to minimizing overall cancer distress, but to facilitating and supporting optimal adjustment in the multiple areas affected in the lives of patients and families during the cancer experience. We encourage you and your loved ones to take advantage of our support and education programs which include services for individuals, families, and in group settings. We are on this journey with you.
