Once you become a patient at CTCA, we are here for you even after you are finished with your hospital treatment. We understand that cancer therapies may affect your health for a long time, or increase your risk of developing other conditions later. That is why CTCA developed our After Care Program, which is designed to help you maintain your health and improve your quality of life once your hospital treatment is complete. Our After Care Program is led by a registered after care nurse. We offer assistance with managing medical and non-medical aspects of care, including medications, side effects, and pain, as well as nutritional, physical and emotional support.
Our After Care Program consists of four key elements:
- Program Introductions - At the start of your treatment, we will meet with you to talk about the After Care Program and how it can benefit you.
- Clinical Assessments - After your primary treatment, we will assess your health and look for potential late or long-term effects of your treatment.
- Care Plan - We will tailor a care plan for you based on the specific treatments you have received, and what you should do about any potential late or long-term effects. Your aftercare nurse will monitor any side effects from your cancer treatment and offer advice for managing these symptoms.
- Communication - We will continue to be in touch whenever you need us. We provide educational training and will send you information about how to address the effects of treatment.
