June is National Cancer Survivors Month. This month, the Alliance celebrates the millions of people who have survived colorectal cancer.
Celebrating survivorship
Cancer survivors inspire us daily and energize our efforts to end this disease in our lifetime. We also recognize that survivorship is more than just the end of treatment — it involves navigating life's physical, emotional, and financial challenges after colorectal cancer. This is why we continue to offer comprehensive support, research funding, educational resources, and a compassionate community.
Your support honors those who have survived and are still battling this disease. We strive to amplify their voices and recommit ourselves to overcoming colorectal cancer.
Take to social media to share your path with colorectal cancer and support others. Choose from a collection of copy-and-paste social media posts to amplify your story.
Whether connecting you with colon and rectal cancer screening resources or our certified Patient and Family Support Navigators, we provide the support you need.
BlueHQ is a personalized support hub with direct access to the Alliance's universe of tools, resources, and peer communities to improve your CRC path.
Need to talk to someone? Call the Alliance's toll-free Helpline at (877) 422-2030 to speak with one of our certified patient and family support navigators.
Learn more about screening and take our free screening quiz to learn how and when you should get checked based on your risk factors.
“Screening found more than 100 polyps in my colon and I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. A million thoughts run through your mind, but only one seems to matter: How am I going to get through this?
With help from the Alliance, I now call myself a survivor. The Alliance provided invaluable resources and support. I felt like I was on a sheer cliff about to fall over when a patient navigator helped pull me back from the edge.
If it wasn’t for generous people funding the Alliance, I wouldn’t have received the support I so desperately needed."
