Cancer Resources
Facing a cancer diagnosis can be stressful. It may leave you with questions about how to navigate life with this diagnosis. Some patients develop symptoms while others may not show symptoms until the disease has progressed. Getting screened may find breast, cervical, and colon cancers early, when treatment is likely to work best. You can also reduce your risk of getting cancer by making healthy choices like being physically active, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding tobacco, protecting your skin and limiting the amount of alcohol you drink. We’ve put together the following resources page in one easy to find location with information on covered screenings, programs and tools available to help you and your family prevent and/or control cancer.
