Leading experts in oncology provide the latest information through cancer workshops and publications for both cancer patients and caregivers. Registrants can read, listen over the phone or watch online at their own pace to find reliable cancer-related information.
CancerCare’s staff of licensed oncology social workers provide emotional support to those affected by cancer. They help them access practical assistance and resources. They’re available to help face-to-face (in certain areas), online, or over the phone – free of charge.
Online, phone and face-to-face support groups led by CancerCare’s network of social workers allow cancer patients, loved ones and people who have lost someone to cancer to share similar interests and concerns with others with comparable situations from across the country.
When a loved one is diagnosed with cancer, it affects the whole family. While there is an emotional impact, there are also practical impacts. One impact is that most of the time a family member is called on to be the caregiver. It is so important for the caregiver to seek support to help eliminate some of the stress that can lead to burnout. CancerCare offers many practical and emotional support resources created specifically for them.
Every Aflac policyholder has access to My Cancer Circle, an online tool that helps caregivers create and organize their own community to support a loved one with cancer. Caregivers can invite and coordinate volunteers and friends to cook, help with transportation or simply drop by to hold a loved one’s hand.
