CANCER COMPANIONS EVENT CALENDAR

​WHO ARE CANCER COMPANIONS
​Cancer Companions are trained church volunteers who support cancer families through individual meetings and/or Christian Cancer Support Groups.
  • ​Cancer Companions "get it". One cancer survivor said, "I have people who love me and care for me. What I need is someone that "gets it".
  • More than a listening ear and an understanding heart, Cancer Companions brings the gift of prayer, scripture and devotionals to lift up cancer families in their time of need.​ ​
​HOW DO CANCER COMPANIONS HELP?
​Through their training and materials, Cancer Companions listen and guide cancer families through these topics:
  • ​Introduction
  • Faith
  • Questions
  • Healing
  • Prayer
  • Stress Reduction
  • Relationshios
  • Communication
  • Healthy Living
WHY CANCER COMPANIONS
​"Cancer Companions helped me realize that some of my fears and thoughts are shared by others. It feels good not to be alone." Pam, Cancer Survivor
WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT CANCER
"Cancer doesn't get to swallow your days and your nights. It doesn't get to put stress in your life or plague you with fear. It doesn't get to come between you and your loved ones and it doesn't get to come between you and your God. Cancer does not get to be more important than the most important things in your life. The most important things in your life are the things you can use to push cancer back so you can breathe again."
From Seeking God in Your Cancer Journey
By Karen Trip, MS LMFT, President of Cancer Companions
