Medical Oncologists look after patients with cancers affecting any part of the body. Heather and Craig are experienced in using chemotherapy, novel targeted medicines, and immunotherapy to treat cancer. These medications are used before or after an operation to cure a cancer, or to control a cancer if it can't be cured.
We provide comprehensive, evidence-based care for patients with blood cancer and general blood disorders. Our scope of practice includes, but is not limited to: leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma and other malignant bone marrow disorders, as well as bleeding/clotting issues, iron disorder and abnormal blood counts.
A diagnosis of cancer or any major health condition can be challenging at times, and the psychological impacts on patients and families can be significant. Addressing the psychological, social and emotional impacts of a diagnosis is important in managing the effects of an illness on patients and families.
