Cancer Support Community

Sometimes the most helpful support comes from someone who’s already lived it.

In our Peer Program, you can connect with others who’ve taken part in a cancer clinical trial and who can share their knowledge and experience with you.

Join our peer program and find support you need to explore clinical trials with confidence.

On Sunday, June 28, we celebrate Community Is Stronger Than Cancer Day and what would have been comedian Gilda Radner’s 80th birthday. Gilda passed away in May 1989 after living with ovarian cancer for 3 years. She had a natural gift for making people laugh. This day is a reminder of the humor, honesty, and heart that Gilda shared with the world, and that continues to guide our work.

This year’s theme, Partners in Purpose, honors the people and organizations who stand with us to ensure Community Is Stronger Than Cancer. Across the U.S., Canada, and beyond, Cancer Support Community and Gilda’s Club provide free emotional support, education, and community every day.

Join us by sharing your favorite Gilda quote or moment!

Our first roundtable for newly diagnosed patients is here! This will be a virtual space to learn, connect, and find support from experts and people who’ve walked this path.

Our community is full of stories worth honoring.

Is there someone you would like to honor today? Share their name or a 🌸 in their memory.

Cancer Support Community is joined by other cancer advocacy organizations in strongly opposing provisions in the CMS interim final rule that create unnecessary documentation, verification, and administrative barriers for medically frail individuals and people with serious or complex medical conditions.

For people managing serious illness, disability, or functional impairment, these requirements are not merely procedural—they can have serious consequences. People with cancer may be especially vulnerable because treatment-related disabilities can make it difficult to meet work and reporting requirements.
