Many of us have experienced the cancer journey, either personally or through a loved one. It is not an easy road to travel without the support and guidance of your health care provider. At the Vancouver Island Centre, while the main focus is on treating cancer, we also offer a wide variety of support services and education sessions to help you and your loved ones cope during this difficult time. Patients are provided with information at every step of the way, from referral to discharge, to make them knowledgeable about their diagnosis, symptoms and how to deal with lifestyle changes.
