A Season of Gratitude

As we approach Thanksgiving and look to the new year, the attention of many might be on a sense of gratitude and well-being.

These feelings may seem distant to those who are affected by cancer, who may feel out of step with the world around them. However hard it may be, expressions of gratitude and appreciation can lead to an increased sense of mindfulness, reduced stress and better quality of life for those going through treatment and their caregivers.

In this season of holidays, we remember all of these individuals and encourage them to reach out to family and friends in ways that can help find moments of peace and meaning as they remember and reflect on what they enjoy and cherish.

Celebrating National Family Caregivers Month

November is National Family Caregivers Month. This is a chance to recognize the family members who provide countless hours of help throughout the year to those with a cancer diagnosis. Spouses, partners, siblings, parents, children, grandchildren and more help keep appointments and organize prescriptions, pick up chores around the house, fix meals, take care of pets, provide emotional support and far more.

While remembering these efforts this particular month, CancerCare is proud to offer resources, support and advice to these caregivers all year long.

My Cancer Circle is an additional free and easy way to organize support and resources among friends and family. Take a look today!

Join the Movement of Generosity Today!

Together, we can provide hope and healing to those who need it most. Leading up to Giving Tuesday, December 2, your gift to CancerCare will be matched thanks to our generous Board of Trustees. Your contribution will have double the impact and will help provide support, hope and healing to thousands of people navigating a cancer diagnosis.

Be part of this global day of giving and make sure your gift is matched for Giving Tuesday.

Free Wig Clinics With Local Hospitals

Changes in appearance can be one of the most personal and emotional impacts of cancer treatment.

Through a partnership with hospitals, including in New Jersey and on Long Island, and ongoing in-person clinics in our New York and New Jersey offices, CancerCare's free Wig Clinics are designed to help women look and feel their best during and after the completion of treatment.
