One of our member organisations in the USA, CancerCare, has relocated to new premises.

Their August newsletter is out now. You can view it here. 

Key stories include:

A recent episode of our podcast Cancer Out Loud was joined by Neema Philippe, a young adult cancer survivor, where she discussed the shock of her diagnosis, the whirlwind of treatments, the emotional impacts of her life plans changing and more.

She discusses healing through admitting her vulnerability, seeking self-advocacy and the small rituals of joy that helped her through.

Her thoughts are expressed in Episode 72: Survivorship in Real Time: Then and Now.

And details of their new headquarters:

”In July, CancerCare transitioned to its new offices in Midtown, Manhattan, where we will continue to offer in-person services, including support groups and counseling in our brand-new facilities. Please note the new shipping and physical address for our main offices!

CancerCare

485 Madison Avenue, 10th Floor

New York, NY 10022”

The new issue also contains details of the group’s ongoing commitment to helping people with cancer access clinical trials:

”CancerCare continually advocates for clinical trials, including myTRIAList, an online tool for finding clinical trials”. 

There are also features on ‘Living with Small Cell Lung Cancer’ and ‘Non Small Cell Lung Cancer – What’s New’.
