If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with cancer, deciding what's next can be overwhelming.

With ACS CARES, you can: • Access personalized, quality cancer-related information that updates as you age, your situation changes, or new information becomes available. • Connect one-on-one with trained ACS volunteers who match your shared cancer lived experiences including diagnosis, location, military status, race, ethnicity, and others. • Get reliable information on how to address important topics such as emotional health, finances, transportation, dependent support and more. • Speak to American Cancer Society cancer information specialists when you have questions day or night, 365 days a year.
