Event Description: The APCF Peer Network provides a safe and confidential environment for you to talk freely about your experiences as you progress through stages of diagnosis, treatment and recovery. You can communicate your concerns, questions, knowledge, and experience and gain valuable insight from others survivors*. You may even find yourself laughing at humor that only fellow survivors would appreciate! If the meeting setting isn’t for you, consider a one-on-one, confidential conversation with a Survivor-Mentor. A Survivor-Mentor is available by calling 1-800-338-1383.
*The APCF defines a survivor as anyone battling cancer – the person, partner, friend, caregiver and/or extended family.
