Cancer Resource Center (CRC) was established in 1996 as a community outreach for Cancer Treatment Centers of America. Information on cutting edge research and options in cancer treatment has been offered gratis since CRC’s inception.
When faced with a cancer diagnosis, learning everything about your disease and the subsequent treatment options can be daunting. Sometimes, just knowing what questions to ask can be impossible. CRC’s trained service representatives will direct you on right course. They will not only educate you about your possible treatment options, they will help you learn ways to educate yourself as well.
Located in Gurnee Mills Mall near entrance H, CRC also offers screening mammograms in a non-clinical setting. Mammograms are available for the lowest price in Lake County, currently at $99. Scans will be read by a board-certified radiologist, then forwarded to the client’s physician of choice.
Cancer Treatment Centers of America believes in an integrative approach for the whole-person during their cancer treatment. That is why CRC offers telephone and in-person nutrition counseling services. CRC nutritionists have specialized training in complementary nutritional therapies and cancer care and can design individualized diet and supplement programs tailored to your unique health goals.
During cancer treatment, eating well (consuming the nutrients you need to maintain your health and optimize your immune system) can become a challenge, especially if you experience side-effects or simply don't feel well. As a result, your energy level may drop, your immune system may be impaired and you might not be able to complete your treatment. And if you're among the estimated 70% of cancer patients who take dietary supplements, you want to be sure that what you are taking is safe and effective.
Nutrition counseling sessions from CRC provide quality care for you through professional assessment, practical suggestions and science-based recommendations. Eating well and supplementing your diet during cancer treatment and recovery may: Promote strength and energy, prevent loss of lean muscle, optimize your weight, promote healthy organ function, lessen treatment-induced side effects, potentially enhance cancer treatment, support the body's natural healing potential.
From one-hour sessions to short a courtesy call, there are a number of options available for nutritional counseling.
