Client Spotlight: Cindy Bass 

"What was most surprising to me about CancerCare is that they offered so many services. It was like a one-stop shop."

Cindy is a 21-year lung cancer survivor, a past Cancer Care client and also a Cancer Care employee. When Cindy first came to Cancer Care , she was able to benefit from our free support groups and wig clinic. These services would not be possible without support from our generous donors.
