Reach To Recovery^®

If you have breast cancer, you may want to talk to someone who knows what you’re feeling—someone who has “been there.” The American Cancer Society can help through our free Reach To Recovery program. We can match you with a volunteer who will talk with you about coping with a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. Every volunteer is trained and is a breast cancer survivor. They know what it’s like to hear the words “You have breast cancer.”

I Can Cope^®

This is a free educational program for adults with cancer and their families. Doctors, nurses, social workers, and other experts teach classes on different topics, such as cancer treatments, dealing with side effects, eating healthy, sharing concerns, finding resources, and more. I Can Cope classes are also offered online at www.cancer.org/onlineclasses.

Look Good…Feel Better^®

Some cancer treatments can change the way you look. Our Look Good...Feel Better program helps you learn ways to help with side effects like hair loss and skin changes. There are also programs for men and teens. This free program is offered jointly by the American Cancer Society, the Personal Care Products Council Foundation, and the Professional Beauty Association | National Cosmetology Association. For more information, call 1-800-395-LOOK (1-800-395-5665) or your local American Cancer Society office.

Road To Recovery

Every day, thousands of cancer patients need a ride to treatment, but some may not have a way to get there. If finding a ride is a problem for you, we may be able to help. Our Road To Recovery program provides free rides to and from treatment for people with cancer who do not have a ride or are unable to drive themselves. Volunteer drivers donate their time and the use of their cars so that patients can get the lifesaving treatments they need.
