Other Cancers

Although Life with Cancer does not have specific groups for kidney, liver, sarcoma, stomach, or thyroid cancer, we do at times offer talks with expert speakers in these fields. In addition, we have general educational programs on managing side effects, clinical trials, and role of genetics, etc. that are relevant to many cancers.

Understanding the disease, learning how to manage symptoms and side effects, maintaining your emotional health, and engaging in strategies for healthy living can provide a sense of control and enhance well-being.

Looking for answers to your questions about Other Cancers? We're here to help, contact us.

“As I meet others in my network that could be of service to you and LWC, I will gladly share and connect – especially in the area of sarcoma where resources are so limited.”

“I just wanted to thank you for all the support and assistance you gave me while my husband was fighting stomach cancer. I will never forget all your kindness, the helpful information you emailed to me, and all the wonderful advice you gave me. You were always so kind and patient and I always felt you were there to answer any questions and put my mind at ease. You will never know how much your knowledge and advice helped me to be brave for my husband. We were married 30 years and he was absolutely the best. Thank you for helping me to give him the best care and keeping him as comfortable as I could. You are truly an angel here on earth.”
