Cancer Support Community - Frankly Speaking About Cancer

Frankly Speaking About Cancer

Welcome to Frankly Speaking About Cancer (FSAC), an educational series that seeks to provide an in-depth look into a variety of concerns cancer patients and their loved ones face after a diagnosis. The series is an actual program, which combines educational booklets, professionally-led workshops and tailored web-content available throughout our site. You can choose any or all components to provide you with valuable information while coping with cancer.

The Cancer Support Community has educational materials available for numerous tumor types. We also can provide you with user-friendly booklets on issues such as side effect management and new discoveries in cancer. All booklets are tailored to the unique needs of the millions of people affected by cancer.

A sample of booklets available is:

Frankly Speaking About Cancer: Coping with the Cost of Cancer

Frankly Speaking About Advanced Breast Cancer

Frankly Speaking About Lung Cancer

and

Frankly Speaking About New Discoveries in Cancer

Face-to-face education workshops have long been a hallmark of The Cancer Support Community’s dedication to empowering patients, caregivers and loved ones to gain knowledge as it relates to their unique situation with cancer. Each workshop is delivered by a medical oncologist specializing in the cancer-related workshop topic (i.e., thoracic oncologist for lung cancer). Our unique format offers participants an opportunity to connect with a medical professional outside of an oncologist’s office in a comfortable and relaxed environment.

Throughout the United States, we run workshops and programs to assist you in gathering the necessary information that you need and introducing you to experts that can assist you in making important choices.

FSAC provides the tools and confidence to build an effective partnership with a patient's healthcare team, family and friends. We hope that you use our Frankly Speaking About Cancer series while coping with this disease.
