Hearing that you need treatment for your cancer likely brings many questions to mind. How is treatment given? What does the treatment do? How am I going to feel? Can I bring a visitor? Getting Started is an educational session led by a nurse educator or advanced practice provider to answer these questions and more.
Education is an essential part of treatment and we encourage you to attend a session prior to starting your treatment. Your Compass team wants you to feel more comfortable with the treatment and involved in your care. Getting Started will provide you with information about what to expect the day of treatment and the days following.
