We can connect you with trained cancer information specialists who will answer questions about a cancer diagnosis and provide guidance and a compassionate ear. We connect patients, caregivers, and family members with essential services and resources at every step of their cancer journey.
Ask us how you can get involved and support the fight against cancer. Some of the topics we can assist with include:. The American Cancer Society offers programs and services to help you during and after cancer treatment. Below are some of the resources we provide. We can also help you find other free or low-cost resources available. For cancer patients, getting the right treatment sometimes requires traveling away from home. Lodging expenses can present a significant financial barrier to receiving lifesaving treatment, and financial barriers are known to contribute to disparities in cancer outcomes.
If transportation to treatment is a concern, we may be able to help. In some communities, our Road To Recovery volunteer drivers provide rides to patients who have no way to get to their cancer treatment. We also provide transportation grants to local healthcare systems partners so they can provide transportation assistance to their patients. The Cancer Survivors Network provides a safe online connection where cancer patients and caregivers can find others with similar experiences.
You can participate on discussion boards, join a chat room, and build your own support network. Deciding whether a clinical trial is right for you can be overwhelming.
Looking and feeling like yourself during and after cancer treatment is important to you. View the American Cancer Society's policies, including privacy, nondiscrimination, and code of ethics. Creating an estate plan can help to provide peace of mind for you and your loved ones as you navigate your cancer journey together.
