Southlake Oncology Helps Patients Deal with the Unexpected

SOUTHLAKE, Texas - Feb. 7, 2015 - PRLog -- Southlake, TX – Southlake Oncology, a Choice Cancer Care Treatment Center is helping cancer patients they can to fight against their fears and cancer.

Southlake Oncology, one of the top cancer care centers in Texas, helps their patients navigate the unfamiliar waters of cancer treatment and all the many expected and unexpected things that may occur as a result including emotional turmoil, physical side effects, changes in relationships, and more. This guidance, says the founder of the center, is in keeping with Southlake Oncology’s commitment to comprehensive, integrated care that takes the whole patient - not just the diagnosis - into account.

“We understand that cancer impacts all areas of a patient’s life including their emotional health, the way that they relate to others, and the physical ramifications of certain types of cancer treatment,” says Dr. Gregory Echt, founder and lead surgeon of Southlake Oncology. “We are committed to helping our patients get healthy in all areas of their life and we are dedicated to providing them the support that will make that happen.”

To that end, Southlake Oncology has assembled a team of experts that focus on all facets of treatment. That includes nutritional support, information and potential remedies for any side effects that patients may experience as a result of treatment, and guidance through any emotional turmoil that often crops up through treatment. There is always someone to which patients can turn to when there is something going on in their life and support groups that allow patients to gain insight from peers who are going through - or have gone through - similar experiences.

“True health can be achieved through many avenues,” says Dr. Echt. “The team here at Southlake Oncology feels a special responsibility to our patients to be there for them in every way possible through their treatment and beyond. And we are proud to provide the resources that make that possible.”
