Family and friends love you. But sometimes you need someone who has actually sat in the infusion chair, waited on the scan results, or held the hand of someone who did.
After going into remission, our founder Diane found that kind of understanding on a dragon boat team of women who had faced breast cancer too. Not everyone has a team like that down the street. That's where CancerConnection.ca comes in.
It's the Canadian Cancer Society's free online peer support community, open to anyone 18 and older using the Canadian healthcare system. People with cancer, survivors, caregivers and loved ones share what's helped them. Members talk about waiting for test results, coping with side effects, self-care for caregivers, living with advanced cancer, and how to ask your care team better questions.
You can browse the discussions without joining. When you're ready, sign up and ask your own question. Staff moderators and trained volunteers keep it a safe, supportive space.
Your people are out there. Some of them are just a click away.
