The American Cancer Society’s Cancer Resource Network consists of three categories of resources – information, day-to-day help, and emotional support. The Cancer Resource Network supports the Society’s nationwide priority leadership role to make high-quality, timely, and understandable information available, especially to newly diagnosed cancer patients and their caregivers. Emotional support connects patients with others who have “been there”. I Can Cope® is a series of educational classes given by doctors, nurses, and other experts to help people with cancer and those who love them understand what they are facing. Some of the topics covered include pain management, cancer-related fatigue, and nutrition and physical activity. Classes are offered online and at select locations. In the Lehigh Valley, visit www.cancer.org to participate in online classes.
