Facing cutaneous lymphoma may feel stressful. We’re here to help at every step of the way, from the moment you meet us through the completion of your treatment.
Meet with us
The first step to meeting with us is to have your doctor refer you to our clinic. Referrals can be sent to the Norris Cotton Cancer Care Pavilion Lebanon, located in Lebanon, New Hampshire. During your visit, we explain your condition, answer your questions, and discuss your next steps. We may also discuss ways to support your health through diet, exercise, and wellness resources.
We may be a smaller, rural academic medical center, but we offer the same cutting-edge treatments as larger centers with our own personal touches to ensure a good patient experience.
