Patient Resources
Florida Cancer Affiliates offers a cancer resource room at our main location in Ocala that can be accessed by the public during business hours. This room offers patients an array of free products for their cancer journey, including wigs, blankets, hats, port covers, pillows and more. You can also find information about support and other community services available to cancer patients and their families.
Several support groups are also available in the Ocala area. Gaining support from outside of your family and caregivers is an important part of the healing process. You can listen to others and learn. You can also talk about your concerns, frustrations and victories. Doing this is proven to have benefit for the participants.
