Cancer Support Organizations
Helping spouses of cancer patients cope with cancer, take care of themselves as well as their spouse. Their mission is to bring together young spouses of adults with cancer to share information, support and experiences.
National Breast Cancer Organization Partner Match Program – 800-221-2141 (24/7, 365 days/year). Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization pairs up husbands and partners of women going through breast cancer with others who have had similar experiences.
Men Against Breast Cancer (MABC), the first national non-profit organization to provide targeted support services to educate and empower men to be effective caregivers when breast cancer strikes a female loved one; as well as, target and mobilize men to be active participants in the fight against breast cancer.
Hope for Two’s (Pregnant With Cancer Network) mission is to connect pregnant women diagnosed with cancer via phone or email with a woman who has gone through a similar experience of being diagnosed with breast cancer while pregnant. We have set up a network of women from across the United States who were once given the same diagnosis. These women are here to lend support, offer hope, and share their experiences.
Chemo Angels is a volunteer organization dedicated to adding a ray of sunshine to the lives of those undergoing IV chemo treatment. We believe people going through the physical, emotional and mental rigors of chemotherapy deserve some encouragement. Many of our Chemo Angel volunteers are cancer survivors themselves, or people whose lives have been affected by cancer in some way. Our common denominator is a desire to brighten the lives of cancer patients while they are going through this challenging time.
Free, private, web-based communities for organizing friends, family, and colleagues – your ‘circles of community’ – during times of need.

Coordinate family and friends to help with meals, grocery shopping, babysitting, carpooling and whatever else you need during and after treatment.
