“As a cancer survivor, I know first-hand what it feels like to be at the end of treatment,” said Kupres. “There are so many questions and concerns – Who will watch me for a recurrence? What doctor do I call for what? Patients are not alone with these feelings. They need to become their own advocates.”

Advocate South Suburban Hospital and The Cancer Support Center partner together to offer psycho-social supports to cancer patients before, during, and after cancer treatment. These supplemental services are offered to patients and their caregivers to ensure that cancer patients are connected to clinical supportive services throughout their cancer journey, both while at the medical facility receiving treatment as well as afterward.
