Emotional Support

Our support knows no limits. We understand a rare cancer diagnosis can feel isolating, so we are here to walk with you, side by side, for as long as you need.

Talking to someone with experience navigating this challenging time can help you feel more capable, hopeful, and less alone.   

We provide a safe and confidential space for anyone impacted by a rare, less common or complex cancer. Whether you are caring for someone, are newly diagnosed, or have been living with cancer for many years, we do whatever it takes to be there for anything you need.   

Examples of how we can help include:  

  • processing and making sense of the diagnosis 
  • navigating the emotional highs and lows of treatment 
  • working through important decisions  
  • managing relationship challenges  
  • addressing barriers you may be facing, such as distance, technology, literacy 
  • taking care of yourself and others   
  • adjusting to life after treatment 
  • learning how to live well with cancer.  

We provide support that is as unique and individual as you are. We can answer a quick question, work through a specific challenge, or simply listen to fears you don’t feel you can’t talk about with friends or family. Whatever matters to you, matters to us.
