Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Survivorship Intervention

Survivorship Consultation is a one hour consultation in a survivorship clinic. The consultation will be performed by a nurse practitioner under the supervision of a medical oncologist. The consultation will result in a detailed written document outlining the individuals "Survivorship Prescription" including treatment summary, surveillance recommendations, risk for late-effects, cancer screening recommendations, genetic risk, and life style recommendations. This written document will be provided to the patient and her treating physician. In addition, referrals will be made to appropriate adjunct services as needed (e.g. psychologist, nutritionist, social worker).

BEHAVIORAL

Facing Forward

Facing Forward: Life after Cancer Treatment is a guide for people who were treated for cancer published by the NCI. It is a 24-page manual that summarized many key issues of interest to cancer survivors during the re-entry phase, and contains sections on medical care after treatment, symptoms after treatment, feelings after treatment, social relationships after cancer treatment, and dealing with practical matters such as insurance and employment. The manual is available in English and Spanish. This will be given at the time of registration and the table of contents will be reviewed with the patient.
