Know Cancer

The Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) helps survivors face the challenges and changes that come with cancer. Through the LAF's online education resource on LIVESTRONG.org, cancer survivors can learn about their cancer-related concerns, such as the physical and emotional effects of cancer and its treatment, and managing day-to-day matters. In addition, survivors can download worksheets to organize and guide their cancer experiences and hear stories shared by other cancer survivors. LIVESTRONG SurvivorCare is a partnership between CancerCare, Patient Advocate Foundation, EmergingMed, and the Lance Armstrong Foundation and provides financial assistance to cancer patients who are 6 months posttreatment with no evidence of disease. Limited financial assistance is available for transportation to follow-up appointments, medical copays, cancer-related medications, and neuropsychological evaluation. The LIVESTRONG Young Adult Alliance is a coalition of organizations with the goal to improve the survival rates and quality of life for young adults with cancer between the ages of 15 and 40.
