By contacting the Anderson Network of The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, cancer patients can find support and help by talking with others with the same diagnosis and treatment.
Cancer patients can share experiences and support each other, and understand that hope is alive.
The Anderson Network is an organization of current and former cancer patients of M. D. Anderson who volunteer their time and experiences to reach out to others walking the cancer journey. Anderson Network volunteers do not give medical advice, but understand what cancer patients, their family and friends, are going through. Not everyone has access to support groups. Not everyone chooses to belong to a support group. Sometimes it is just difficult to leave the comfort and haven of home to reach out to a support group.
