What is cancer survivorship?

Our program helps cancer survivors become thrivers. Our survivorship clinics focus on improving life after cancer treatment by providing classes on nutrition and ways to manage side effects such as anxiety, depression, pain, fatigue, neuropathy, insomnia, and stress.

Who is a cancer survivor?

A cancer survivor is any patient who has cancer now or has had cancer in the past. Now that you have completed active treatment, you may be wondering, “Who will be taking care of my health now?” Your care team will keep taking care of you. We will see you regularly to provide the information and care you need to live the healthiest life possible.

How do we help?

We meet in groups once per month to give tips and provide resources on how to eat an anti-cancer diet, decrease stress and anxiety, and manage side effects. These appointments are designed to help you improve and maintain your health as a cancer survivor while focusing on three key areas: mind, menu, and movement.

  

We teach patients to eat, move, and think in a way that lowers risk of cancer and improves side effects. We are here to help meet your needs and goals.

  

Check out the calendar and programs below! If you are interested in the survivorship program, please let your doctor know to put in a referral for survivorship.

For appointments and questions, contact Carol Crooms at (318) 626-4124 or carol.crooms@ochsnerlsuhs.org.
