When you receive a cancer diagnosis, you’re plunged into a new world that’s filled with medical lingo and urgent decisions, along with the very normal responses of shock and fear.
That’s why some Sutter cancer care centers offer a Nurse Navigator Program. From the first day of your diagnosis through treatment and recovery, your Nurse Navigator can act as your personal guide through the overwhelming maze of information, appointments and emotions. He or she will provide one-on-one education and support while also serving as case manager, advocate and friend—all free of charge.
