No two people experience cancer the same way. Thanks to our donor support, the Cancer Foundation has developed Cancer Coaching – a health and social care service that is available to anyone who has ever been diagnosed with cancer and at any time (before, during, and after treatment or at end of life). Cancer Coaching is also available to any family member, loved one, caregiver, or friend of the person who has been diagnosed. We understand that a cancer diagnosis affects the whole family and support network, and we are here to help those who are touched by the disease.
The role of the Cancer Coach is to help you identify and work through your current difficulties, explore decisions that are right for you and support you in making choices that work for you, your cancer and your life. The Coach can offer ideas and suggestions and help you choose your short- and long-term goals so that you are on a path to making the decisions that are best suited for you. You work together with your Cancer Coach to help manage your cancer experience and find ways to cope with the day-to-day challenges of living with cancer and beyond.
