Patient Information Language Translation


Hi all,

I have been seeking patient information on the web for a new chemo pt who speaks mostly Portuguese. Her questions seemed overly anxious, and upon questioning, she revealed that she didn't understand the handouts and explanations given, because she can't read English well. I did find some basic stuff on NIH and a medical information language translation site (Fordham), but I wondered if there are specific sites that anyone knows about that goes into more detail about side effects, neupogen and procrit, frequent lab studies, precautions, dietary info, sleep help, and so forth.

Thanks for any input
