effects of chemotherapy and a cancer diagnosis. Come meet new friends, help others, and find a
new supportive network of people who know what you are going through. Meetings are held

functioning. Wellness of mind, body and spirit programs can help you learn to manage these
stress levels. Despite new research showing that women and men respond differently to stress,
the programs we offer at the Center cross over gender boundaries. These programs can evoke
beneficial physiological effects and help reduce stress. Classes are free for all community

Transportation To/From Your Cancer Treatment
Many cancer patients require frequent, if not daily treatment. This can create stress on you and
your caregivers. Ideally, you will have had the time to address your transportation needs before
beginning treatment. However, with all the stress of a new diagnosis, insurance, and numerous
doctors’ appointments we understand transportation arrangements can easily be overlooked.
Your primary transportation ideally comes from your family and closest friends. It is a
good idea, when undergoing daily treatment, to rotate who will help each day to avoid burn out
of a single care-giver. Adult children, spouses, significant others, family friends, extended family
and parents are typically the main source of transportation.
Your second source of transportation should be your wider circle of friends, neighbors and
community. If you belong to a church, club or group, they may help. Co-workers also may be
able to help.
It is normal to feel uncomfortable asking for help with transportation. However, many times
family and friends want to help. Giving family and friends this opportunity to help you will help
them feel more included and useful in your treatment. www.caringbridge.org offers an online
tool for friends and family to sign up to help with transportation, errands, and chores.
Other Transportation Resources
The American Cancer Society offers transportation services ranging from .14 cent mileage
reimbursement to a volunteer (if one covers your area) who can pick you up and bring you to
your appointment. The volunteer service needs a one-week notice prior to your appointment. To
learn more information visit the Cancer Center’s Patient Resource Center or visit American
Cancer Society’s “Road to Recovery” 1(800) ACS-2345 (1-800-227-2345) www.cancer.org
If you are living in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) you can inquire about the SNF’s
transportation services.
For patients with additional severe disabilities (for example, on daily dialysis, paraplegic,
significant developmental delay, and severe seizure disorders) transportation is a benefit of your
insurance, call your insurance provider for more details.
Some transportation benefits are offered through the VA program. If you have Tri-Care, call
1(800) 827-1000 National helpline or California 1(800) 952-5626 www.va.gov
If you are currently using a wheelchair and have Medi-Cal, Medi-Cal will pay for you to be

happens to you. Sometimes, during treatment some people decide to move to homes with lower
rent. There are also programs called Subsidized Housing or Section 8 housing which help people
below a certain income level pay for rent. To apply for these programs visit your county’s

Health Insurance Questions and Guidance
It’s common to feel anxiety, frustration, and stress about how to afford to pay for treatment. If
you have private insurance through your employer the best way to find answers is on the back of
your insurance card. Some questions to keep in kind are how much are your deductibles, copays, and what is your prescription coverage. Are you limited by your insurance to only see
certain doctors or what type of treatment you can have? If you do not currently have insurance or
if you have Medicare and/or Medi-Cal please contact the Patient Resource Center or your county
Medi-Cal office to find out more about your coverage.

Recommended Reading
These books are highly rated by cancer patients for usefulness and readability. All book
descriptions are paraphrased from the American Library.
Cancer: 50 Essential Things to Do by Greg Anderson. This guide to cancer recovery offers an
easily accessible plan for patients and family members. Written by a cancer survivor, the book is
an action-oriented roadmap for those who choose to adopt a stance of hope and take charge of
their diagnosis. Anderson’s message is: “You must not simply treat illness; you must also create
wellness-physically, emotionally and spiritually.”
What to Eat if You Have Cancer: by Maurene Keane, Daniella Chance, et al. Keane, a
nutritionist, cancer survivor, and coauthor of the best-selling Juicing for Life (Avery, 1992), and
Chase, a natural-health writer and nutrition educator, describe the body’s physical components
and how nutrition affects physical function. The author’s proposed nutritional therapy is
designed to deny cancer the food elements it requires for growth while strengthening the body
against the disease and the rigors of its treatments.
I’d Rather Do Chemo than Clean out the Garage by Fran Di Giacomo. I’d rather Do Chemo
by Fran Di Giacomo is an amazing approach to living with the Big C. The author is writing from
her experience of ten surgeries and many years of intermittent chemo-therapy. She discovered
that laughter is the best medicine and surrounded herself with anything that made her laugh…her
own therapy. When she found how much better she was able to cope with her illness this way,
she decided to write this humorous book, which takes every aspect of the traumas a cancer
patient faces and gives a whimsical but realistic twist to them, in order to help other patients
survive with laughter.
Facing Cancer Together by Pamela N Brown. Pamela Brown, a cancer survivor, suggests the
many ways you can help by your words and actions. In addition to a wealth of practical
suggestions, Facing Cancer Together includes entries from the author’s journals, as well as Bible
readings and prayers to share for support and comfort.
Anti-Cancer by David Servan-Schreiber. In “Anti-Cancer: A New Way of Life,” French born
psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. David Servan-Schreiber discusses his fifteen-year battle with
brain cancer. Although conventional treatments worked initially, the cancer recurred.
Fortunately, he has been cancer-free for the past seven years, and he attributes his success to
anti-cancer regimen that, he asserts, boosts the body’s natural defenses. Dr. Servan-Schreiber
27 | P a g e
does NOT encourage cancer patients to reject their doctors’ advice concerning surgery,
chemotherapy, and radiation. However, he does believe that there is nothing to lose and
everything to gain by making changes in one’s diet, level of physical activity, psychological
attitude, and environment.
Caregiving: A Step-By-Step Resource for Caring for the Person with Cancer at Home by
Pater Houts, PhD and Julia A Bucher, RN, PhD. A practical guide offering manageable solutions
to many conditions and situations caregivers face. Easy to use, this handy reference offers

for help.
