A cancer diagnosis is less daunting than it used to be. Fortunately, for many kinds of cancer, scientific knowledge, treatments and health outcomes are continually improving.
CBCC is committed to the safety of our patients, their visitors and our employees. We understand that families and loved ones are an important part of the healing process, however due to the ongoing pandemic, we request that you limit visitors to one adult over the age of 18. Everyone entering our facility must wear a mask and pass our screening.
Existing CBCC patients who have a clinic follow-up visit or a consult visit with a new provider may be eligible for a video visit. When scheduling please ask if a video visit is available to you, or if you have already scheduled an appointment, please call Patient Navigation at (661) 865-2573.

As a patient, you should be involved in your medical treatment and in paying for your health care. This flyer will help you understand your health insurance policy and the health care payment process.
As a caregiver you may be asked to take on new responsibilities and deal with issues that are new to you. Our team is here to guide you and inform you throughout this new role.
Talk with your cancer team so you know exactly what your patient is taking. This includes knowing the name of each medication, understanding why it has been prescribed, and keeping track of when it should be taken.
It’s a good idea for the caregiver to accompany the cancer patient on visits with the cancer team. As a caregiver, you will want to listen carefully, ask questions, and take notes. Treating cancer can be a long process that includes many office visits. Your notes can be used to help you remember details and a way to look back on past conversations. We also recommend that if the patient has two caregivers, one should be designated to attend all patient appointments. This person can also be the key contact for the doctor and will be more easily able to share information with any family or friends.
A medical power of attorney empowers you to make medical decisions when the cancer patient is unable to. This is an important decision and should be discussed with the cancer patient so that the wishes of the patient can be followed if they are unable to communicate. Ask your cancer team about medical power of attorney.

Social Services
People with cancer often report experiencing a wide-range of emotions and needs throughout their cancer experience. Social services are available to support the adjustment of patients and families with the changes and challenges that may occur in life following a cancer diagnosis. Meeting with a licensed social worker can provide an opportunity to discuss your social and emotional concerns and can include linkage to local, state, and national resources to help navigate your specific needs.
