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 Skin Cancer Nurse Navigator
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. Gwen Herder, RN, OCN, is the nurse navigator for skin cancer patients and families. Find out how she 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.
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.
For example, most skin cancers are caused by sun exposure or cancerous moles. However, 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.
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.
