American Cancer Society Offers Resources to CMC Patients and Families

By Press Release

American Cancer Society has programs and services in your community to help people with cancer and their families. We offer information, day-to-day help, and emotional support – all at no cost. Some examples of our programs are:
• Road To Recovery – Every day, thousands of cancer patients need a ride to treatment, but some may not have a way to get there. If finding a ride is a problem for you, we may be able to help. Our Road To Recovery program provides free rides to and from treatment for people with cancer who do not have a ride or are unable to drive themselves. Volunteer drivers donate their time and the use of their cars so that patients can receive the lifesaving treatments they need.
• Reach To Recovery – Our Reach To Recovery program lets you talk one-on-one with a trained volunteer about breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. The volunteers are breast cancer survivors, so they know the questions and concerns that come with a diagnosis.
• I Can Cope – These interactive online classes provide a quick and convenient way for patients and caregivers to get the answers they need, when they need them. Classes are self-paced and topics include pain, fatigue, nutrition, communication, intimacy, side effects, and more.
• Help with Lodging During Cancer Treatment – If you need treatment somewhere far from home, we may be able to help you find a free or reduced-cost place to stay near your treatment center.
For more information about American Cancer Society programs and services, please call 1-800-227-2345 or contact Kirby Reed at (404) 653-8071 or kirby.reed@cancer.org.
