When Cancer Hope Network was founded in 1981, our work was innovative, cutting edge. There was no “Doctor Google” or oncology social workers waiting to help guide patients after diagnosis. Fortunately, things have changed.
Today, there’s more information and wider support for adults facing cancer. Cancer survival rates continue to improve and dramatic progress is being made. Despite this progress, hearing the words “you have cancer” is no less devastating now than when our organization was founded.
That’s where CHN can help. Each of our 400+ trained Support Volunteers is at least one year post-treatment or successfully undergoing maintenance therapies. They have faced more than 80 cancer types and speak 15 languages.
