When someone is diagnosed with cancer, it doesn't matter where you live or what type of cancer it is- you immediately have many unanswered questions. Movember and LIVESTRONG are teaming up to offer free, confidential navigation resources to any man affected by any cancer at any age.
Our goal is to make sure men know they are not alone and that they have a resource to lean on throughout their cancer experience. We encourage men to reach out via phone, online, or in person to ensure they can access these free services, available in both English and Spanish. This includes those diagnosed with cancer, their families, friends, loved ones and the health care professionals who work with them. Services will include:
Emotional Support—assistance coping with a cancer diagnosis, help accessing support groups, as well as peer-to-peer connections
Fertility Risks and Preservation Options—information on fertility risks and help accessing discounted rates for fertility preservation options
Insurance, Employment and Financial Concerns—information on employment rights and benefits, financial assistance and debt management, including insurance and billing issues as well as medication co-pay assistance
Treatment Concerns—general cancer and treatment information, matching to clinical trials
Mo Bros and Mo Sistas of Movember support these services, providing more access to more survivors. Together, we’re changing the face of men’s health- one moustache at a time.
