Education
You or your loved one is diagnosed with cancer and now, all of a sudden, you're supposed to be an expert on the disease. With so many opinions and sources of information, it can be hard to know what to trust. Today more than ever, the person with cancer is expected to participate in his/her own care. Having access to high-quality, understandable information is vital.
CancerCare provides free educational programs to help you and your loved ones understand your diagnosis, treatment options, quality-of-life concerns, and other important topics. The foundation of CancerCare's Education program is our Connect Education Workshops, free one-hour conference calls presented by cancer experts from around the country. Connect Education Workshops are an easy way for you to learn about cancer-related issues from the convenience of your home or office. Every year, we produce more than 50 Connect Education Workshops that reach more than 45,000 people.
