At the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS), we know that cancer can change a lot of things. A cancer diagnosis can be stressful and frightening. But we also know that for people with cancer and their families, life is more than a diagnosis. That’s why we are always looking for ways to improve the cancer experience by helping people live longer and enhancing their quality of life. We’re here to help and support people to live their lives more fully.
We listen to Canadians and offer programs and services to help people with cancer, survivors, caregivers and their families cope.
Support services are confidential, and many are available free of charge and in other languages. We help:
· provide trusted information via our Cancer Information Service, a toll-free help line, and cancer.ca
· lessen the burden of travel to and from treatment by providing rides through our transportation programs
· connect people with similar cancer experiences through our peer support programs: Peer Match, Peer Support Groups and CancerConnection.ca
· provide a home away from home for people who need to travel long distances for care at one of our seven cancer lodges
