Practical Support

Practical Care addresses specific needs of the patient to enable a patient to attend appointments, or deal with disruptions to family life that may result from therapy. For the cancer patient and their family common practical needs which require supportive care professional referrals and coordination are: drug coverage for chemotherapy and non-chemotherapy drugs, transportation to and from appointments and cancer treatments, child care for children or siblings, care for febile parents, overnight accomodations for daily radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
