Cancer in the Community

Cancer in the Community 

This post is just a simple heads up and thanks to the ones that have really been supportive and informative.

The Lydia Project

Lydia's free services are meant for women currently facing cancer. Receive support for yourself or any woman currently receiving treatment for any type of cancer anywhere in the world by using the buttons to the right to request a tote, prayer, or support.

The Challenges/Situations Lydia Addresses:

Women with cancer
Suffer with depression and feelings of isolation; are afraid to share their fears with family and friends; and seek out tools and other survivors to help them cope with their emotions during this time of crisis.

Caregivers and Loved Ones
Struggle with what to do or say to comfort the woman in their life with cancer; search for tangible signs of comfort and support to give to the cancer patient; and need a safe place to discuss their fears and emotions about their loved one.

Health care Providers
Look for places of referral for cancer patients and families to find emotional and spiritual support; desire to show compassion, empathy and community support to the cancer patient; and value practical tools that complement medical treatment.

Cancer Navigators

You received the diagnosis, and you have begun your journey. Now what...?

Maybe you have done just fine on your own until now...Or maybe you have had wonderful friends or family that have been a wonderful helping hand.

Now, Imagine someone who has been through cancer a dozen times, maybe even a hundred times.

Wouldn’t you want to know what they know? Wouldn’t you want to learn the secrets and shortcuts?

Imagine someone who wants to help you with your financial situation?

Maybe you have no insurance and you need help paying for bills, medicine or even food.

Maybe you are having trouble finding transportation to your treatments, or to the grocery store.

Imagine someone who knows the answers to all the questions you forgot to ask while you were at your appointment.

Wouldn’t it be nice to get those answers with one phone call?

Cancer Navigators is this help...
