Cancer Centre London is pleased to offer a range of specialised services dedicated to the treatment and support of breast cancer patients.
Central to the range of support provided specifically for breast cancer patients is the dedicated Breast Care Nursing service. These are registered nurses with specialised training in breast care. They are available to discuss any clinical issues arising before and after surgical or oncological treatments. The service gives you extra support, information and advice if you are having breast cancer treatment at CCL.
Our Breast Care Nurses provide:
These services are available from diagnosis and throughout the treatment pathway. Our Breast Care Nurses can also help you with any concerns when you have finished your treatment. This is part of our ongoing commitment to give you the best possible support.
All CCL patients diagnosed with breast cancer will be given an appointment within 72 hours of receiving their diagnosis. This first appointment is designed to give you a chance to seek answers to any questions you may have. We appreciate this is a difficult time, and that you may be feeling overwhelmed, so the initial meeting will enable us to provide you with information on diagnosis and the treatment options available.
The Breast Care Nurses at CCL offer a dedicated clinic for patients who have had a diagnosis of breast cancer. The aim of this clinic is to assess how the individual is coping on a physical and psychological basis through the use of a Holistic Needs Assessment (HNA).
Evidence suggests that having an HNA after diagnosis, during and at the end of treatment helps to identify the issues that are important to you. It is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and gather information on upcoming treatments or advice on how you move forward once treatments are completed. We can also make referrals to other departments (e.g. physiotherapy, dieticians, counsellors etc).
The Breast Care Nursing Service is just one of a number of support services we offer at CCL to cater to the physical and emotional needs of our patients.
You can find the full range of our support services here. We promise to be with you every step of the way.
