Coastal Cancer Center’s Breast Cancer Resources for Patients

Coastal Cancer Center’s Breast Cancer Resources for Patients

Facing a breast cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Coastal Cancer Center offers a variety of resources and support systems designed to help patients and their families every step of the way.

Supportive Care and Financial Assistance

At Coastal Cancer Center, we understand that some patients face circumstances where they are uninsured or underinsured for the important treatments needed. Our foundation works tirelessly to raise funds to help patients who need assistance. These community-driven efforts ensure that everyone has access to the care they need. Further, as an independent community oncology practice, our services are affordable and well under hospital-based care costs.

Community Events and Fundraisers

Participation in community events, such as the North Myrtle Beach Pink Ribbon Run, is at the heart of Coastal Cancer Center’s mission to raise awareness and support. These events not only generate funds for breast cancer research and patient support but also create a vibrant sense of community among participants. By running, walking, or simply showing up, you’re helping to send a powerful message about the importance of breast cancer awareness and solidarity.

Programs for Well-being and Reintegration

• Wigs and Hair Loss Support: Experiencing hair loss can be emotionally challenging. Coastal Cancer Center collaborates with local programs to provide wigs for those undergoing treatment, helping them feel more like themselves during this difficult time.

• Look Good Feel Better: This program is specifically designed to boost the confidence and self-esteem of cancer patients. Participants receive beauty tips and support to help them manage the physical side effects of treatment.

• Breast Cancer Navigation: Navigating the healthcare system can be complex. Our breast cancer navigation services provide patients with personalized assistance, ensuring they understand their treatment options and have access to the necessary resources.
