The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network in Illinois empowers ordinary people from every walk of life to use their stories, voices and passion to advocate for their friends and family members with cancer. And we want you to join us.
Cancer treatment is time consuming – often requiring time off from work for doctor's visits, surgery and recovery, chemotherapy, and radiation. The flexibility to balance cancer treatment and employment is necessary.
As we approach World Cancer Day happening this Sunday and lawmakers continue their work this session, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) urges legislators to prioritize passing legislation to ease the burden of cancer on Illinoisans.
Do you have a personal story about how cancer has impacted you or someone you love? Real stories are how ACS CAN ensures that no one becomes a statistic.
