Kentucky CancerLink Chatter

Kentuckians we help...

Kentucky CancerLink had the pleasure of assisting this family that came in to our office. A father, battling stage 4 Prostate cancer came with his daughters, one who is battling breast cancer. We were able to assist her with obtaining a wig and other items from our Patient Services Room. One look at these smiling faces and it's hard to believe that they are on a cancer journey.

Kentucky CancerLink is honored to be able to provide support to these brave faces, as well as the countless others. It's due to generous support of Community Partners and individuals that make our mission to reduce barriers to screening, diagnosis and treatment possible. We thank you on behalf of the Kentuckians that are given hope in the midst of a cancer diagnosis!

Snapshot of Services

Kentucky CancerLink has an on-site Patient Services Room where patients can come to receive wigs, mastectomy supplies (bras, prostheses), lymphedema garments, hats and scarves.

If a patient is unable to physically come to our office, or if they are from another Kentucky county, Patient Navigators determine the needs (sizing, color preferences) and mail directly to the patient.

Most insurance does not cover these items for cancer patients. We are happy to be able to offer them FREE of charge. Thank you to those who donate to our mission and make this service possible!
