As we fight our way back to health, there are other forms of support that can make things a little easier on us. Below are some resources that can offer additional support for cancer survivors and our families.

Housing assistance during cancer treatment

  • The Healthcare Hospitality Network (HHN) is a nationwide professional association of nonprofit organizations that provide lodging and support services to patients, families and their loved ones who are receiving medical treatment far from their home communities.

  • Joe’s House is a nonprofit organization that helps cancer patients and their families find a place to stay when traveling away from home for medical treatment.

Transportation assistance

  • The American Cancer Society (ACS) Road To Recovery program provides transportation to and from treatment for people with cancer.

Beauty & Wellness

  • ACS’s Tender Loving Care program (TLC) offers products for women coping with breast cancer or any cancer treatment that causes hair loss as well as advice on how to use these products. Products include wigs, hairpieces, hats, turbans, breast forms, mastectomy bras and mastectomy swimwear.
