CancerForward’s Resource Library provides online information to guide cancer survivors, their caregivers and oncologic healthcare professionals in making informed decisions during difficult times. The library of resources is maintained by trained volunteers to ensure that it offers access to current information about the physical, emotional and practical issues of cancer rehabilitation. The information is divided into two categories for ease in accessibility: Cancer Specific Resources and General Support Resources.
While CancerForward strives to provide as comprehensive a catalogue of resources as possible…currently, over 275 listings….we encourage you to carefully evaluate the information you retrieve from the websites appearing here. The Resource Library is meant to be a general introduction to topics of interest in cancer survivorship. The information found here is not intended to provide nor should it be interpreted to provide professional medical, legal and financial advice. You should consult a trained professional for more information.
Unable to locate coverage on a topic of interest to you or want to suggest a website for inclusion in the library? Please let us know! E-mail our librarian at library@cancerforward.org.

Intended for professionals in the medical, health and wellness communities, the “Patient & Survivor Guide to CancerForward” is a brief overview of CancerForward’s offerings in support of diagnosed survivors. Health care professionals are encouraged to download the “Guide” (color PDF format), print, copy and distribute it to survivors who depend on them and their advice in seeking information.
