There are a number of organizations and resources that can help you manage cancer. We believe in finding information and services wherever you feel comfortable.
Tips to evaluate resources
- Look at the source. An organization should want to educate and support you. If it’s not your cup of tea, that’s okay.
- Look for evidence. Choose information supported by facts and research over opinion.
- Stay current. Research and treatments are always evolving. Generally, resources less than three years old are considered up to date.
