Breast Cancer Services

When you hear breast cancer, you may go numb. Fear, anger or other emotions may tumble together as you grapple with what the diagnosis might mean for your life, your work and your family.

With PAMF, you have dedicated, determined and skillful doctors, nurses and care staff working for your good and the good of those you love. Our Cancer Nurse Navigator Program provides you with a single, compassionate and knowledgeable point of contact for every step in your cancer journey, from genetic counseling and testing to financial concerns. Through our tumor board, you have access to a multidisciplinary team of specialists who meet on a regular basis to review and discuss treatment options.

PAMF’s Palo Alto Center is proud to offer the Multi-Disciplinary Clinic to our newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. During these two- to three-hour visits, you can meet with the team of specialists selected for you to learn about your treatment options, as well as all of the support services offered at PAMF, within one session. After your visit, your multidisciplinary care team will collaborate to plan the best course of treatment for you at PAMF.

Because we believe health encompasses your whole being—body, mind and spirit—we offer in-depth integrative and complementary care, including nutritional counseling, cancer social work services and financial counseling services. We also provide sophisticated, compassionate pain management and palliative care services to keep you comfortable throughout your treatment.

Getting Started

Schedule an individual consultation with a Nurse Navigator at any time during your breast cancer treatment and recovery process. Many patients find it useful to schedule their first appointment after their diagnosis, but before deciding on a treatment option.

Your initial appointment will last approximately one hour, and you may choose the number of subsequent visits you need. Consultations are provided at no cost.
