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.
