Who will take care of me?
Who will take care of the children when I am in treatment?
Will I be able to do things like I used to?
Will I be pitied?

Who can benefit from cancerGO?
CancerGO is a peer-to-peer support platform that provides resources, support, and information to cancer patients and their families. It is an initiative created to help cancer patients navigate the complexities of diagnosis, treatment, and recovery with the support from a community of caregivers, survivors, and oncologists.
Caregivers in cancerGO
CancerGO isn’t just beneficial for patients. It can also provide much-needed support for caregivers. When someone is diagnosed with cancer, many different emotions are often involved — fear, anxiety, confusion — and it can be overwhelming to manage them all on your own. That’s why CancerGo offers a range of resources to help family members cope!
Survivorship in cancerGO
The journey of living after cancer can be a difficult one but, as survivors, you have an opportunity to lead by example and provide positivity. You are capable of making waves when someone needs it most. Use your voice!
cancerGO for oncologists and specialists
We are building an ambitious network of oncology practitioners and specialists, who share valuable care-related information, answer questions, provide guidance, and help to navigate the difficult journey of cancer treatment.
You do not have to fight cancer alone.
Support groups can be very helpful for cancer patients as they go through their cancer journey. Being able to talk to others who have been through similar experiences can be therapeutic and provide much-needed support. In addition, support groups can also offer patients practical advice on how to cope with cancer-related issues.
Our platform provides the ability to communicate, engage, and build lasting relationships with the help of all the features an online social network offers, without the noise in other non-cancer platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
