During periods of illness, patients and their families have special concerns. Living with cancer is often a reason for feeling anxious or depressed. Sometimes, talking about these feelings can help you find new ways to cope. The social worker may provide assistance in finding financial coverage for your care, and answering basic questions about insurance coverage. Clinical social workers hold a Master’s degree in Social Work and are trained to assist you and your family in coping with the stress related to your illness. Your physician, nurse or radiation therapist may refer you to the social worker or you may contact the social worker directly.  There is no charge for social work services. Confidentiality is always respected within the treatment team. Radiation Oncology Social Worker (314) 454-7632 Dietitian The importance of maintaining good nutrition is a vital part of medical care for individuals with cancer. Your physician or nurse may recommend that you meet with a dietitian while you are receiving radiation therapy or before you start your treatment Dietitians on staff at the Department of Radiation Oncology are registered members of the American Dietetic Association and licensed in the state of Missouri. They specialize in the nutritional therapy for patients diagnosed with cancer.
