Resources
Let me help you
You are not alone. There are 32 million cancer survivors. Sometimes, we need help to find the information necessary to move on or adjust to new obstacles. Let me help you. I have provided some links for you to get started.
Radiation Fibrosis
Currently serving as the Director of Cancer Rehabilitation at the Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation, Dr. Stubblefield is widely acknowledged as a pioneer in the field of cancer rehabilitation on a global scale.
Corporate Angel Network (CAN)
Corporate Angel Network (CAN) is a charitable organization that operates under the 501(c)(3) tax code and assists cancer patients in gaining access to the most effective treatment by arranging for free travel on corporate aircraft.
Patients, including those who live in regions with limited access to airlines, can travel to specialized medical centers thanks to the availability of business jet travel. Patients suffering from any form of cancer, as well as donors and recipients of bone marrow and stem cells, are eligible to take part in study. Patients are free to travel as frequently as they deem necessary, and there is no financial obligation to do so.
Cancer Legal Resources
The Cancer Legal Resource Center (CLRC) is a program of the Disability Rights Legal Center (DRLC), a 501C-3 non-profit public interest advocacy organization that advocates for the civil rights of people with disabilities and those affected by cancer and other serious illnesses. The DRLC Cancer Legal Resource Center educates and supports cancer patients, their families, healthcare professionals, and advocates on topics such as maintaining employment during treatment, accessing healthcare and government benefits, taking medical leave, and estate planning through its national telephone assistance line, outreach programs, and community activities. For someone who has been diagnosed with cancer, these issues can cause anxiety and confusion, which can be overwhelming. When left unaddressed, patients may survive treatment only to lose their homes, jobs, or insurance coverage. When information is readily available, patient survival rates improve as stress and anxiety levels decrease.
Cancer and Careers
Recognizing that there was no single entity to turn to for guidance on these issues, the CEW Foundation — Cosmetic Executive Women's charitable arm — decided to launch a program to provide cancer patients and survivors with the information, tools, and services they required to navigate work after a cancer diagnosis. As a result, Cancer and Careers.
They have spent the last 20 years educating and empowering individuals, healthcare professionals, and organizations to better navigate the intersection of employment and cancer.
