Welcome to the 2020 Big C Survivor’s Guide
As 2019 comes to an end, we bring out the third annual edition of The Big C Survivor’s Guide, to assist you and your family members with every ounce of support needed during this time.
We hope you will find comfort with solutions to side effects and access to information. Our team hopes that this token helps to share the load and spread the love. We know information is vital and we are #stongertogether to #spreadthehope.
Appreciation goes to our advertisers who continue to support this initiative and make it possible. To the patients who share their stories and their solutions, this could not be done without you.
And finally, to the WFWM team who put in the hours, the passion and commitment to deadline…thank you.
