Always great to find resources that can help get support, information & answers out to the cancer community. Breakaway From Cancer partners with well known non-profits like Livestrong!, Stand Up for Cancer, and one I have never heard of but will look into: Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope & Healing.
You don’t have to fight cancer alone. Amgen’s Breakaway from Cancer aims to raise awareness of the comprehensive array of resources available to cancer patients – from prevention to education and support to financial assistance and survivorship. In addition, Amgen and Breakaway from Cancer help spread the word about working together to conquer cancer through partnerships with organizations including the Lance Armstrong Foundation, the Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope & Healing and Stand Up To Cancer.

How Diet Affects Cancer by Dr Keith Block.
Some great resources and information from a well known and experienced doctor. You can find out more about Dr Block by visiting his website: Life over Cancer. Dr Andrew Weil is one of the few doctors out there in the public eye that I think really gets it. He understands that it’s a mix of modern science with “holistic” approach that can really make a difference. He lives in Tucson, AZ and works at the Arizona Cancer Center at the University of Arizona. Which if you read my blog regularly, you know is where I went to college. So if Dr Weil is involved, I tend to put more stock in it. So, Here’s what Dr Andrew Weil said about Life Over Cancer.
“Life Over Cancer is the program every cancer patient deserves in order to have the best chance for recovery and restoration of health.”—Dr. Andrew Weil, from the foreward of Life Over Cancer
