Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with cancer? We can help by providing cancer-specific resources and navigation throughout your cancer journey. Being diagnosed with cancer can be intimidating and overwhelming. Having a family member or friend support you throughout your cancer journey can be helpful, as they can accompany you to doctors’ appointments, help take notes, and help you remember what the doctor says, while also serving as an advocate. However, if you need additional support, we are here to help.

“You know, you don’t have to feel lonely. Like even if you want to feel strong and not put this on your family. Like, at least you don’t have to go through it alone…
we’re stronger together.”

– Participant in the MNA’s 2024 Cancer Screening Gatherings
