Cancer Support & Survivorship
Helping you with life after cancer
Support & Survivorship at Beverly Hospital
At Beverly Hospital, your emotional and support needs are just as important to us as your cancer treatment. Our compassionate support staff is here to help you every step along your journey to recovery.
Learn about the cancer support groups that we offer.
Look Good…Feel Better for Breast Cancer Support
We are proud to offer you the Look Good...Feel Better program, sponsored by the American Cancer Society (ACS). Guided by volunteer cosmetologists, ACS designed this program for female cancer patients. Participants learn how to use make-up and skin care techniques to overcome the appearance-related effects of chemotherapy and radiation.
What To Expect
Patients learn ways to deal with cancer treatment-related hair loss using wigs, scarves and other accessories. First-time participants receive a free make-up kit. Those in active cancer treatment can attend the classes and receive materials at no charge.
In addition to the very real physical and emotional concerns of the disease, the side effects of cancer treatment can be devastating to a patient's self-esteem. Past participants in the Look Good...Feel Better program have called it an emotional lifesaver, saying it helped them return to a sense of normalcy and allowed them to smile again.
Program Sponsors
Look Good...Feel Better is a free, non-medical, product-neutral program offered through these partners:
- American Cancer Society
- Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association Foundation (a charitable organization supported by the cosmetic industry)
- National Cosmetology Association
Programs are held at Addison Gilbert Hospital and Beverly Hospital.
Cancer Rehabilitation Program
Today’s cancer treatments are better than ever before. But treatments also can be toxic and impact a person's physical, mental and emotional wellness. After treatment, many cancer survivors report having a physical impairment that keeps them from getting back to the life they had before.
The specialists in our cancer rehabilitation program are here to help improve your life during and after cancer treatments.
Benefits of Cancer Rehab
Cancer rehabilitation can help with a wide variety of treatment-related conditions and their symptoms, including:
- Pain
- Weakness
- Fatigue
- Shoulder problems
- Balance and gait problems
- Memory and concentration issues
- Swallowing and speech problems
- Lymphedema (swelling of the arms or legs that can be caused by removal or damage to lymph nodes)
