Why should I participate in the Spring for Support 5K/Family Fun Day?
A cancer diagnosis and treatment can be a difficult time for patients and their loved ones. Access to support services and resources can be a challenge.  Duke Cancer Patient Support Program (DCPSP) aims to overcome this barrier. DCPSP provides services throughout the cancer experience — from suspicion of a cancer diagnosis through the time of diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and survival, as well as through the circumstances surrounding end of life.
Services include: Individual, couple, and family therapy, support groups, self-image resources, pet therapy, child-life services, recreational therapy, and more. All support services are provided at no charge to patients and their families. The DCPSP believes that quality comprehensive cancer care involves attending to issues beyond the scope of traditional models of medicine. They believe in treating the whole person, not solely the cancer. Further, they believe in treating the whole family, as cancer touches the lives of patients and their loved ones.
