CancerConnection

Provides free, confidential telephone support to adults 18 years or older diagnosed with any type of cancer and/or their caregivers. Trained volunteers who have had a similar cancer experience listen, share practical experiences about living with cancer, and offer emotional support, understanding and encouragement from someone who has been there. Connections through an interpreter or with volunteers who speak other languages are possible. Hours are 9 am to 5 pm Monday to Friday.
Also offers CancerConnection.ca, an online support community for adults who have cancer and their caregivers. Members connect through discussion groups and blogs, sharing information about managing cancer in their lives, and engaging in supportive discussions. www.cancerconnection.ca
