Focus On

New Online Resource

We know that cancer profoundly impacts family members and others close to a person who has been diagnosed. Boehringer Ingelheim, in collaboration with CancerCare, has created My Cancer Circle™, a simple, customizable online tool that helps organize the community of family members, friends, and others who want to lend a hand. Through a Help Calendar, caregivers are able to enlist friends and family to sign up for tasks, including cooking dinner and offering rides to doctor’s appointments. My Cancer Circle also encourages message and photo sharing among members.

To learn more or to create a community to help support a loved one coping with cancer, please visit mycancercircle.net.
