At Cape Fear Valley Health, we understand the challenges of balancing cancer treatment with work, family and other obligations. Our goal is to ease the burden of care by offering the highest quality cancer care locally.
Our Approach to Cancer Care
We take a comprehensive approach to your cancer care. That means we’ll tailor your cancer treatment to both your physical and emotional needs.
To do this, your care team will consider:
- Your health history
- The stage and type of cancer you have
- Genetic testing, genomic testing or tumor profiling (DNA tests that provide insights about your specific cancer)
- Your concerns, preferences and goals for treatment
We’ll then work with you to put together a care plan — discussing all your options.
Your Care Team
You’ll have a team of cancer specialists working together for you. Your care team could include:
- Medical oncologists
- Radiation oncologists
- Surgical oncologists
- Advanced practice providers
- Social workers
- Dietitians
- Pharmacists
- Oncology nurses
- Navigators
We can also connect you with our supportive oncology services. This program offers assistance with applications for social security, disability, Medicaid and supplemental security income (SSI). They can also assist you with nutrition counseling, financial counseling, community referrals, transportation assistance and help with prescription drugs.
