SPECIAL SERIES & PROGRAMS
Cancer can, at times, feel isolating. It is important to connect and communicate with friends and family…even those we don’t know who are facing the same challenge. Among days of both good news and not-so-good news, you need to embrace opportunities to express your emotions honestly and freely. We promise it will make coping with cancer just a little bit easier.
