Breast Cancer Survivorship Clinic

You were diagnosed with breast cancer, you underwent treatments and now you’ve successfully finished active treatment. You’re ready to move on and take back your life.. But as a cancer survivor, you may be experiencing physical, financial and/or emotional side effects from diagnosis and treatment. Carle is here to help.

Mills Breast Cancer Institute is proud to offer a Breast Cancer Survivorship Clinic where breast cancer survivors meet with a nurse practitioner to create an individualized risk adapted plan of care based on your specific cancer type and the treatments you received. This plan will provide you with a roadmap for wellness checks, psychosocial support and healthy lifestyle changes to help guide you in the years to come.

Our expert nurse practitioner will:

• Review your medical records including your specific cancer type, tumor location and treatments and perform a complete physical examination.
• Speak with you regarding any ongoing side effects – physical or emotional – that you may still be experiencing from your cancer and treatment.
• Develop a personalized risk adapted plan of care that:
  • Identifies wellness checks you should be getting and how often.
  • Assesses healthy lifestyle changes you can make to reduce your risk of future cancer recurrence and the development of other serious health conditions.
  • Outlines social support options for ongoing emotional side effects.
  •  Provides resources available to assist with any financial issues related to your diagnosis and treatment.
• Place orders for appropriate screenings and tests based on your care plan.

Once your individualized care plan has been developed, you can share it with your primary care physician for ongoing follow-ups, or you can continue to see our team for future appointments.
