It’s likely that your email inbox is flooded with updates about the COVID-19 pandemic. This can be overwhelming for anyone. It is particularly troublesome for cancer patients. Although what we know about this disease is rapidly changing, we do know that people who are immunocompromised are at a higher risk.

We know you rely on us for medically accurate and up-to-date information. CCF is here to help you navigate through this difficult time! We have been reviewing hundreds of sources to bring you the most relevant information regarding COVID-19 and cancer. We are very cognizant that the dangers of this outbreak are not just physical. It is important to protect ourselves from anxiety and depression that can be caused by fear, uncertainty, and social isolation. Therefore, we will be sending select periodic videos, links to other websites, and up-to-date medical and scientific information to help address the specific physical, mental, and emotional needs of our community.

We have compiled a curated list of resources that might be helpful to you. We encourage you to reach out to us and each other frequently.
