Cancer can be exhausting. At UCBC, our goal is to minimize stress for our patients by offering services that might otherwise be inconvenient to access. Did you know the UCBC Medical Oncology facility in Athens has a full-service retail pharmacy? ☎️ The pharmacy is staffed with certified, knowledgeable pharmacists and pharmacy professionals to fill prescriptions and answer any questions you may have.⠀
•⠀
•⠀
The UCBC Pharmacy accepts most major insurance and will submit a claim to your pharmacy benefits provider. Our pharmacy also stocks medications that might be difficult to find elsewhere.

As you begin your treatment at UCBC, your clinic v

As you begin your treatment at UCBC, your clinic visits may be weekly or less frequently, depending on your unique treatment plan. For instance, radiation therapy is daily for several weeks unless you receive brachytherapy. A couple of things to note:⠀
•⠀
•⠀
🔺Before each scheduled appointment with your physician, you should make a list of questions, symptoms and other issues you need to discuss. Let our office staff know if, at any time, you need to meet with one of our patient account representatives or have financial questions.⠀
🔺You will become accustomed to the routine of drawing blood labs and meeting with our medical staff. The language of cancer will merge into your vocabulary and our staff, along with your family and friends, will be your support team. You will become our family, and we will be part of yours.⠀

Words of wisdom from a cancer survivor: "Find at least one positive thing every day. Your favorite show or meal, a funny text, the sound of birds chirping - look for something that's good in spite of your diagnosis. And don't forget to laugh." ❣️#UCBCStrong

The Live Well program was started by University Ca

The Live Well program was started by University Cancer & Blood Center, at our Athens office, in 2013, so that we could offer more support to our patients ❣️ We understand that cancer isn’t just physical. Healing takes place at many levels. ⠀
⠀
We believe in integrative care to treat the whole person and have expanded the program to our satellite locations, in order to provide a holistic assessment that addresses the physical, emotional, mental, AND spiritual aspects of the individual process for each of our patients. Learn more about our Live Well program ➡️ link in our bio!⠀

Some cancer patients might be at increased risk of serious illness from a COVID-19 infection because their immune systems can be weakened by cancer and its treatments, particularly chemotherapy. In addition to social distancing ((keeping at least 6 feet away from others) and remaining at home as much as possible, we've compiled a list of the top prevention tools that are ideal to have on hand during the current COVID-19 outbreak. ⠀
•⠀
•⠀
*Please note that this list is not exhaustive, and these tools do not replace the need for professional medical treatment*⠀

Every cancer therapy used today began as a clinica

Every cancer therapy used today began as a clinical trial. That is why cancer survival rates for all patients – adults and children – have improved in recent years. University Cancer & Blood Center has been offering clinical trials to Athens and the surrounding areas for over 20 years, and is the only private practice in Georgia to be awarded an NCORP Grant by the NCI as a Research Site to improve access to innovative clinical trials for a variety of cancers. ⠀
⠀
The physicians at UCBC are dedicated to offering patients access to clinical trials and by doing so, patients gain early access to leading-edge therapies #UCBCStrong 🔬 🖥️ ⠀
