Dear Friend, In light of the worldwide efforts to limit the spread of COVID-19, it’s normal to experience feelings of isolation. We at the Cancer Support Community are here to remind you that you are not alone; we are in this together. At a time when information is coming at us at a rapid pace, we are putting resources in one place for you to remain empowered by knowledge and supported by community: cancersupportcommunity.org/coronavirus Below is a list of the resources we have and the actions we are taking to provide support to individuals affected by cancer: - Get Expert Information: Get answers to questions you may have about COVID-19 and read updated evidence-based information for people impacted by cancer.
- Connect Your Community: MyLifeLine.org allows you to create a private site to keep your community involved in your cancer journey, or join more than 2,000 online discussion board members supporting each other with information, opinions, stories, and inspiration.
- Learn About Legislation: Our Cancer Policy Institute is committed to ensuring the voices of cancer patients and their loved ones are included in all policy making. Read updates from Congress and follow CSC’s easy-to-understand explanations of recent news and policies.
- Chat with Cancer Support Helpline Counselors: The Cancer Support Helpline is staffed by counselors and resource specialists who have extensive years of experience helping people affected by cancer.
