This information is intended for the patients, friends and families of the UM Comprehensive Cancer Center.

It has been created to answer many of the questions you may have about your treatment, how to prepare and what it will be like. It also contains suggestions about caring for yourself during treatment.

There are many resources available to patients and their families at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center that will help you throughout your treatment. These resources can be found in the Patient and Family Support Services Handbook available in each clinic and at the Patient Education Resource Center.

These services include:

Fertility Program

Some men and women who receive chemotherapy become infertile, which means they are unable to have children. If you plan to have children, talk to your doctor before your treatment begins. The UM Cancer Center has a Fertility Counseling Program for cancer patients. Information about this program can be found on their Fertility Preservation web page or by calling 877-907-0859.

University of Michigan Health System Blood Drawing Facilities

Information about locations and hours of operation for the blood draw facilities throughout the health system is available on the MLabs Blood Draw Stations webpage. You may also find this information at the Patient Education Resource Center on level B1 of the Cancer Center or by calling the Cancer AnswerLine at 800-865-1125.
