CancerConnection
Wouldn't it help to talk with someone that has survived your type of cancer? The CancerConnection program matches you with a trained volunteer who has had a similar cancer experience. You can talk to someone who understands what you are going through because they have been there. If you are a person with cancer (no matter whether you have just been diagnosed, are in treatment, or finished treatment) and you would like some extra support, contact us. Our volunteers are trained to listen, provide emotional support and share practical insights about living with cancer. Cancer can be frightening. That's why we're here – to help. Register online |

Who is Eligible?
CancerConnection is for adults at any stage of their cancer journey, as well as their caregivers. CancerConnection is:
• free
• confidential
• accessible
• responsive
The right kind of support can make a world of difference if you or a person you know is living with cancer. But real hope does not come from just talking to someone about how you feel – it’s when they already know. |
