Patient Education Materials
Welcome to the patient education materials page. Through this page, you can select and order from a menu of free patient education materials that address such issues as how cancer is diagnosed and treated, what kinds of foods you can eat to support your body as you go through chemotherapy, how meditation and guided imagery can play a part in your healing, and how to express your feelings through journal writing.

These materials are not intended to take the place of treatment or discussions with physicians, counselors or your friends and family. They are meant to add to your resources and knowledge. Cancer is a complicated disease and each individual’s response to the experience is different. We hope these materials help.

These are the complimentary patient education materials currently available for you to order.
