Resources for People with Cancer

Reaching out for support may help make your recovery easier and helps you feel better both during and after therapy. Make it a part of your overall treatment plan to let other people assist you. Ask your health care team for special instructions about taking care of yourself. Seek support from family, friends, and others who care about you.
