Stories of Help & Hope

Read inspiring personal stories from real people affected by cancer and the ways they've found to cope, heal and continue living through their diagnosis.

Mike C

Prostate Cancer

CancerCare was the first support group I attended and it was exactly what I needed. It meant so much for me to be able to talk with other men about my cancer and theirs.

Regina D

Cervical Cancer

You need to get your village together. I had a few friends checking in on me every day and who drove to see me. You need that support.

Veronica F

Breast Cancer

CancerCare has helped me build my foundation from start to finish, to show me who I can be before and after cancer. They gave me an outlet of encouragement.

Judy N

Ovarian Cancer

I’m so glad I found CancerCare and was able to access services that really helped me take care of the whole emotional-mental aspect of cancer. That’s so easy to neglect amid all the physical parts of it.
