Cancer is a disease that affects the entire family. We believe supporting and treating the whole family is critical to a patient's health and success.
We provide resources for families and friends dealing with cancer including support groups, education and help with advanced directives.
After a family member or friend tells you they have cancer, many things begin to rush through your mind. Caring for a family member with cancer can be challenging. We have many resources for family members and friends of loved ones to help you through this difficult time.
