Treatment
When you're ready to begin treatment, you'll receive the latest, most effective cancer technologies that Hall-Perrine physicians use to help fight each patient's unique battle with cancer. This may include one or a combination of the following:
Your Breast Cancer Nurse Navigators
Hall-Perrine provides every cancer patient with your own personal nurse – a navigator to guide you through all of your treatments, answer your questions and be there for you.
Jessica Steffens, RN, and Amy Steinbach, RN, BSN, are the nurse navigators for breast cancer patients and families. Find out how they can help you.
Post-Treatment
Survivorship Program
Our survivorship program is a continuation of your cancer care. The goal is to help patients navigate next steps after cancer treatment. You will be seen by our survivorship nurse practitioner who works directly with your medical oncologist.
Breast Cancer Survivor Stories
Thousands of patients, thousands of stories ... each one as personal and unique as the cancer they faced. They all have at least two things in common though, their courageous attitude and the power of The Mercy Touch® at every step. Read our breast cancer survivor stories.
Genetic Testing
Cancer is a common disease. However, some people have a greater chance of developing cancer. This may be due to gene changes that are passed through the family. Inherited gene changes are responsible for 5 to 10% of all cancers.
Certain cancers, such as breast cancer, are more likely to run in families, and we can test for those genetic links. Knowing your cancer risk factors, including genetics, can make an astounding difference in your future health.
Learn more about when you should you consider genetic testing.
Support Group
Join others who have fought and survived breast cancer for support and education. Learn more about the Especially for You breast cancer support group.
Rehabilitation
Mercy Rehabilitation therapists understand the relationship between treatments, subsequent side effects, lab values, surgical interventions, and appropriate activity and exercise levels for patients undergoing cancer treatment. We specialize in interventions for neuropathy pain and weakened muscles; these interventions align with the progression of treatment and help aid survivorship to allow a return to full function. Learn more about rehabilitation programs at Hall-Perrine Cancer Center.
Hall-Perrine offers a full range of rehabilitation and support services for cancer patients, including breast therapy for Lymphedema (swelling of the arm) and webcording (tightening of the arm) – both of which are common side effects for patients who have undergone breast mastectomy or lumpectomy procedures.
Worried about the cost?
If the inability to pay prevents you or someone you know from seeking breast-care services, the Especially for You® Fund may be lifesaving. The EFY Fund covers the cost of breast-care services for individuals in need in our community.
