Living with cancer can feel overwhelming.
You don’t have to carry it alone.

Our 3-Day Cancer Retreat offers a chance to step away from daily demands and connect with others who truly understand the journey. Through supportive conversation, gentle activities, and time to rest, many participants leave feeling renewed, grounded, and less alone.

The program itself is free.
The only cost is room and board.

Financial assistance is available for Washington residents.
Join us May 19–21 in Union, WA.

We love our Cancer Lifeline Volunteers!

A note from one of our wonderful volunteers, Vince Cacanindin :

What an incredible day, and thank you, Puget Sound Oncology Nursing Society (PSONS), for the 46th Annual PSONS Symposium in Lynnwood, WA. As volunteers with CancerLifeline.org, Shavon and I connected with PSONS dedicated oncology nurses and leaders from across the Pacific Northwest to promote our emotional support, education, and practical resources for people living with cancer, their families, and caregivers. These professionally-led programs and confidential services aim to foster hope, resilience, and connection throughout the cancer journey.

It is estimated that in 2024, cancer remains the second-leading cause of death (619,812) in the United States, following heart disease (683,037). Deaths will be attributed to Lung, Colorectal, and Pancreatic Cancer, ranked in order, respectively, and new cases attributed to Breast, Prostate, and Lung Cancers, also ranked respectively (2025 estimates). It is significant to note that 2024 was the first year that the U.S. was expected to see cancer cases top 2 million, with 2025 continuing that upward trend in total diagnoses.

Thanks again for creating a space for Shavon and me to share challenges, celebrate wins, and be inspired by the critical work you do. Additionally, a huge shout-out to everyone who stopped by our CancerLifeline.org table! I felt the collective passion of the oncology nursing community, who are among the leaders in cancer care! 🥂

Live in Federal Way and currently in cancer treatment?

Cancer Lifeline has a special pool of support set aside just for you.
We know cancer brings enough stress on its own—adding financial strain for travel, daily needs, and self-care can feel overwhelming.

Our Patient Financial Assistance Fund exists to help lighten that load.

If you:
- are actively in cancer treatment,
- live in the city of Federal Way, and
- have a household income at or below 225% of the Federal Poverty Level (for example, $67,500 for a family of four)

You may be eligible for a $450 financial gift. Applications are being accepted until early December.

To learn more, call 1.800.255.5505 and speak with one of our caring Lifeline volunteers. Volunteers are available Monday-Friday, 9AM-5PM. You can leave a message 24 hours a day, and mention that you are a resident of Federal Way.

Let us help keep the light of hope on this season.

As I prepare for retirement, I reflect on our journey together. I invite you to support our Resources for Hope campaign, which provides crucial financial assistance to those facing cancer. Your contributions ensure that no one faces this journey alone, and every gift counts. Thank you for being a part of this mission.
