How does primary care for cancer survivors work?

At Gearity Wellness Center, the team provides several types of primary care for cancer survivors, including:

Standardized cancer follow-up testing

The majority of recurrent cancers come back within two years of treatment. If you’re a cancer survivor, it’s important to participate in regular follow-up testing. The sooner your provider identifies the recurrence of cancerous cells, the sooner they can develop a custom care plan.

Addressing medical problems caused by cancer

If you’re a cancer survivor, you’re also more likely to experience chronic health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure. At Gearity Wellness Center, primary care for cancer survivors includes regular physical exams, preventive screenings, and treatment guidance for chronic conditions. When combined, these factors can significantly improve your quality of life.

Healthy lifestyle counseling

As a cancer survivor, your physical health is a top priority. To avoid recurrence or other health problems, it’s important to change your lifestyle for the better. The team at Gearity Wellness Center regularly provides nutritional guidance, exercise advice, and tips for stress management. These steps can help you thrive on your road to recovery.

Specialist referrals

Sometimes, post-cancer recovery requires the insight of a medical specialist. If necessary, your provider at Gearity Wellness Center can refer you to an oncologist or other expert in the area to assist in your treatment plan.
