A cancer diagnosis can be difficult. It is normal to have many different emotions during this time. Examples of emotions that are common are: stress, anxiety, sadness, anger or a sense of a loss of control.
It is important to talk to someone that can help you understand your feelings and thoughts. The psychosocial team can give you and your family confidential counseling and support. Our services are free as well as private and confidential.
We offer groups as well as counseling to individuals, couples and families.
The supportive care team is made up of dietitians and a medication access specialist. Our services are free.
Dietitians offer both individual counseling and group sessions.
At the Queensway Health Centre Oncology clinic the drug navigators can also give you information and counseling about the side effects you may have and how to best manage and/or prevent them.
You may have many different questions through your cancer journey. The Mississauga Halton Central West Regional Cancer Program is dedicated to giving you and your families/ loved ones, information you need, when you need it, in the way you need it by the right professional.
