 Preparing for Treatment
People new to the cancer experience can get help making treatment decisions, understanding the effects of treatment, finding treatment centers and doctors, participating in clinical trials of new treatments, supporting a friend or loved one with cancer, and talking about cancer with friends and others.

Treatment may affect your life in many ways. We can help you cope with side effects of treatment, feel good about your appearance, get information on financial and legal issues, and track side effects and doctor appointments.
 After Treatment
What happens after treatment? Learn how to maintain your health, discover how you can share your experiences to help current patients cope, and find out how you can get involved in the fight against cancer.
