Part 2: Resources by need

Part 1: Prisma Health programs Center for Integrative Oncology and Survivorship (CIOS) Prisma Health’s Center for Integrative Oncology and Survivorship is a patient-centered program integrating traditional cancer care with evidence-based integrative therapies. Complementary therapies are nonmedical and address emotional, spiritual and physical needs. Complementary therapies with traditional cancer care treat the “whole patient.”

CIOS works with you to identify the most appropriate resources and create a plan to optimize your physical and emotional health during and after your cancer treatment. We are dedicated to helping you live your best life with a cancer diagnosis.

Integrative and complementary therapies • • • • • • • • • •

Integrative Oncology visit “Moving On” Oncology Rehabilitation Program (physician-referred 12-week exercise program) Exercise navigation Nutrition counseling and workshops Mindfulness-based stress reduction programs Distress management and individual counseling Support groups and classes Spiritual care Sexual Health Evaluation Referrals

These therapies help manage cancer symptoms and maintain energy levels from diagnosis to after treatment.

Who is a survivor?

An individual is a cancer survivor from the time of diagnosis, throughout treatment and beyond. CIOS works to facilitate the best quality of life possible from the initial point of survivorship.

CIOS is one of the first centers to combine integrative oncology and survivorship. This combination improves outcomes, highlights cancer prevention and enhances quality of life.

CIOS houses a multidisciplinary team of professionals consisting of physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, nutritionists, counselors, social workers and other clinicians who provide direct services or referrals for patients during all stages of survivorship along with programs that address their needs.

2

Integrative Oncology visit An IOS visit will provide patients with an introduction to the activities, resources, and educational opportunities within and outside of CIOS. This one-on-one appointment allows patients to discuss their individual needs and questions about mental, physical, and emotional survivorship health with a doctor or nurse practitioner. To schedule a visit, call 864-455-1346.

Details about every CIOS service is listed throughout the booklet. For more information on CIOS, call 864-4551346 or visit PrismaHealth.org/CIOS.

Not only is the individual who is diagnosed a survivor but also anyone who is affected by an individual’s cancer, be it a family member, friend or voluntary caregiver.

Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Cancer Program When facing cancer, adolescents and young adults confront different personal, psychosocial and medical challenges than younger children and older adults.

Issues related to school, work, childcare, fertility, genetics, sexuality, psychology, and financial concerns are complex and require a multidisciplinary approach to ensure these needs are met. That’s why Prisma Health created the Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Cancer Program — a collaborative program offering coordinated cancer care for young adults ages 15–39. Bringing together specialized care providers from both the pediatric and adult worlds, our doctors and caregivers are committed to improving outcomes for AYA patients.

For more information, call 864-454-2922 or visit PrismaHealth.org/AYA

Cancer Genetics Program The program is staffed by board-certified genetic counselors. The program’s goal is to identify individuals and families at increased risk of having an inherited cancer syndrome and to offer options for genetic testing, screening, and medical management based on medical and family histories. For many families, genetic testing can affect management recommendations to ultimately reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancer and identify those individuals in the family who can be defined as high risk.

CIOS also offers a phone screen option if you are referred for cancer genetic counseling. That means you can speak with a board-certified cancer genetic counselor from the comfort of your home. For more information, please visit PrismaHealth.org/CIOS/CancerGenetics.

Should I seek genetic counseling?

If you or a close family member (parent, child, brother/sister, aunt/uncle or grandparent) has a history of any of the following, or if previous genetic testing in your family has revealed a known gene mutation, please ask your doctor about referring you for an appointment for genetic counseling.

Breast cancer • Diagnosed at an early age (50 years or younger) • Two different breast cancers in the same person at any age • Triple negative breast cancer (ER/PR/Her2Neu negative) at age 60 or younger • Diagnosed with breast cancer at any age with: - One relative with breast cancer before age 50 or ovarian cancer at any age OR - Two relatives on the same side of the family with breast cancer or pancreatic cancer at any age • Male breast cancer • Multiple relatives on the same side of the family with breast cancer at any age • Breast cancer with any of these other cancers or features: - Sarcoma, thyroid cancer, adrenocortical carcinoma (cancer), brain tumors, stomach cancer, leukemia/ lymphoma, pancreatic cancer, metastatic prostate cancer • Ashkenazi Jewish Ancestry Other female cancer • Ovarian cancer at any age • Uterine cancer diagnosed before age 50 • Uterine cancer and colon cancer at any age Colon cancer or polyps • Colon or rectal cancer diagnosed before age 50 • More than 10 colon polyps in his or her lifetime • Colon or rectal cancer with any of the following cancers in the same individual or another family member, especially if diagnosed before age 50: - Uterine stomach, ovarian, small bowel, kidney/ureter, brain, pancreatic, bile duct Other cancers • Pancreatic cancer at any age • Metastatic prostate cancer at any age For more information on cancer genetics, call 864-455-1346 or visit PrismaHealth.org/CIOS/CancerGenetics.

Cancer Support Community at Prisma Health Cancer Institute Cancer Support Community (CSC) is the largest nonprofit provider of psychosocial services to cancer survivors in the country. Prisma Health is proud to be its first hospital partner. Programs offered are free, evidence-based and open to anyone who has been impacted by a cancer diagnosis including family members, caregivers and patients receiving care outside of Prisma Health.

The CSC at Prisma Health offers programming to address the emotional and social needs of those affected by cancer. The CSC mission is to ensure that all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action and sustained by community.

Part of CSC programming is to offer a monthly calendar of items in these four areas: • Support services: Connections to persons who share similar experiences and can truly understand what you are going through, support groups and individual counseling from our multidisciplinary team so that no on faces cancer alone.

• Education: Empowering through evidence-based workshops and classes. Monthly educational opportunities focus on different elements of survivorship such as complementary therapies (e.g., Reiki, aromatherapy and acupuncture), the latest treatments, and many other topics promoting a healthy life in the present and best chance of relapse prevention.

• Healthy living: Classes and programs help strengthen the body, soul and mind. These include yoga, resistance exercise, walking groups, meditation, mindfulness and nutrition. Note that these activities are all taught with the recognition that, at different points in time, individuals have different limitations; class instructors provide different options so that everyone can participate regardless of present ability.

• Social activities: Opportunities to socialize with other survivors and engage in gatherings that are nourishing as well as enjoyable.

Look for the calendar and more information at PrismaHealth.org/CIOS/CSC. For more information about current programming, a list of support groups, or to be placed on the mailing list for the calendar, call 864-455-4399 or email CSC@PrismaHealth.org.

Dealing with distress Distress and cancer diagnosis The National Cancer Institute defines distress as “emotional, social, spiritual, or physical pain or suffering that may cause a person to feel sad, afraid, depressed, anxious, or lonely.” People in distress may also feel that they are not able to manage or cope with changes cause by normal life activities or by having a disease, such as cancer. Patients with cancer may have trouble coping with their diagnosis, physical symptoms or treatment.

Experiencing cancer diagnosis can be a stressful and uncertain time. While it is natural to feel symptoms of distress, it is important to allow yourself to recognize these feelings and accurately report them to your medical care team. Openly reporting feelings of distress is a very important piece of your overall cancer care. Building this rapport with your providers will enable the best opportunity for your care team to help manage or reduce your distress and connect you with helpful resources that may help alleviate cancer-related distress.

For more details on recognizing cancer-related distress, please visit: What is Cancer-Related Distress? | OncoLink at www.oncolink.org (search “cancer related distress”)

“You don’t have to be positive all the time. It’s perfectly OK to feel sad, angry, annoyed, frustrated, scared and anxious. Having feelings doesn’t make you a negative person. It makes you human.”

– Lori Deschene

Distress screening: What you need to know During each provider visit, you will be asked to rate your distress on a scale from 0 to 10. Distress in patients with cancer is defined as the unpleasant experience of combined factors that may interfere with the ability to cope with cancer. These factors may include practical (e.g., financial, housing, transportation), emotional, spiritual, social and physical concerns. Regularly asking you to evaluate your distress from 0 (no distress) to 10 (extremely distressed) gives your oncology team the opportunity to provide support and connections to resources you may find helpful.

Spirituality Amid diagnosis, treatment and planning for your physical health, you may experience distressing emotions of fear, worry or grief. You may also have questions about your future and how to have the life you want. Spiritual health services exist to help you express yourself and understand your own feelings and desires.

Center for Integrative Oncology and Survivorship (CIOS) chaplain: The oncology chaplain is available on-call and for appointments. He works with patients and outpatient Cancer Institute staff of any spiritual expression.

You can visit with the chaplain for free in person or by phone. Contact Chaplain Blake Miller at 864-399-8312 or Blake.Miller@PrismaHealth.org.

Exercise According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), regular exercise can be helpful before, during and after cancer treatment. Physical activity can help the body and brain work better, reduce feelings of fatigue, improve muscle strength, strengthen the immune system and improve overall quality of life.

American College of Sports Medicine Recommendations: • 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity each week • Resistance training at least 2 days per week • Stretching exercises at least 2 days per week • Start slowly and build up the amount of physical activity Before treatment, it’s important to stay active to help reduce complications from surgery, anxiety and distress from treatment.

12

During treatment, factors such as type of cancer, treatment and personal fitness level can influence the ability to exercise without limitations. However, it is vital to stay as active as possible during treatment.

After treatment, take time and be patient when trying to exercise. A low or moderate intensity activity for a healthy person can seem like a high intensity activity for a cancer survivor, so increase exercise gradually.

Two visit options to help counteract fatigue and side effects (offered by the Center for Integrative Oncology and Survivorship) Exercise Navigation During an exercise navigation visit, a CIOS oncology rehabilitation nurse practitioner will discuss exercise vital signs and suggestions based on the patient’s current physical condition. The visit also offers a body composition scan for more information on muscle and fat distribution as well as referrals to local fitness programs. To schedule a visit, call 864-455-1346.

Appetite: You may notice a decrease or increase in appetite based on your stage of treatment and type of treatments.

Cognitive changes and cancer treatment, side effects and chemo brain According to the American Society of Clinical Oncology, more than 70% of people with cancer experience problems thinking, paying attention or remembering things. Often referred to as “chemo brain,” cancer diagnosis can come with cognitive side effects that may make you feel “cloudy,” regardless of whether you have received chemo treatment. Cognitive changes can also be a side effect with treatments such as hormone therapy, radiation and surgery.

Cognitive changes before, during and after cancer treatment are common, and for some can be long term.

However, there are recommendations on what you can do day to day and lifestyle changes known to help sharpen your mental abilities or decrease your risk of developing cognitive changes in relation to cancer treatment.

“If I had my life to live over, I’d dare to make more mistakes next time. I’d relax, I would limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I’d have fewer imaginary ones. If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances. I would ride more merry-go rounds. I would pick more daisies.”

– Nadine Stair, author Her answer, at age 85, when asked what she would do if she had her life to live over again.
