Supportive care programs for those diagnosed
with cancer and their caregivers
Cancer survivorship begins the day of diagnosis and continues throughout the balance of life.
Living with cancer often presents many new coping challenges and impacts all areas of life.
JamesCare for Life provides free supportive programs for those affected by cancer, including
patients and caregivers/family members, and can be accessed from the time of diagnosis.
Programs focus on the physical, emotional, practical and spiritual ways that life is changed by
cancer, and are designed to empower survivors and caregivers by providing education,
support and coping tools that aid health and well-being.
