How LIVESTRONG is Helping the Whole Person Heal
America's Charities Shape the Future Blog Series
No one should face cancer alone. Through collaborative programs and direct support services that fill critical financial, emotional, physical and practical gaps in care, LIVESTRONG works every day to help cancer survivors and their families through and beyond their cancer diagnosis.
In this post from our Shape the Future Blog Series, LIVESTRONG shares how their work is empowering the cancer community.
Cancer affects everyone – personally or through a loved one. LIVESTRONG is here to provide resources, information, and support for people affected by cancer at every stage of the fight. We are here because no one needs to face cancer alone.
We’re about the practical stuff - planning for surviving, banking your sperm, preserving your fertility, organizing your finances, dealing with hospitals, specialists, insurance companies, and employers, and knowing your rights. We’re not just treating the physical disease but helping the whole person heal. For example, the LIVESTRONG Navigation Center provides free, one-on-one support through every step of the cancer journey to patients, caretakers, families, and friends because cancer doesn’t just affect the patient. We know you have questions and concerns, and we’re here to give you answers.
