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 |
