Voices of CancerCare

When Judy was diagnosed with a rare form of ovarian cancer almost a decade ago, many emotions ran through her mind: shock, fear, disbelief and curiosity. Judy, a research scientist by trade, wanted to know more about her diagnosis and was disappointed by the lack of literature and research available. Join us for a story of hope, perseverance and gratitude, as Judy shares the highs and lows of navigating a rare cancer diagnosis.

Listen to Judy's story in season six, episode six: “The Power of Multiple Truths,” of our Cancer Out Loud podcast here.

National Social Work Month

We celebrate CancerCare's oncology social workers for National Social Work Month in March. Our dedicated team of professionals sets CancerCare apart from other support organizations as the core behind our clinical programs and services.

In the last fiscal year alone, our social workers covered 38,841 calls to our Hopeline and provided 31,569 hours of practical and emotional support. We honor the efforts of our social workers in their work to help those impacted by cancer.
National Nutrition Month

Nutrition can often be an overlooked aspect of cancer care. Good nutrition can help people manage symptoms like nausea, tiredness, diarrhea and decreased appetite that can be side effects of treatment. CancerCare has a number of resources on nutrition, including podcasts and publications, available here.

In addition, through our partnership with Savor Health, we offer nutritional support with Ina, the Intelligent Nutrition Assistant, an easy-to-use resource that answers questions about careful eating, diet and side effects, when you need answers most.
