What Is Cancerversary?
Cancerversary.org is a community that connects cancer survivors and their family members, caregivers and friends by sharing a common yet distinctive experience: living with, through and beyond cancer. We’ve provided this forum for you to tell your survivorship story or commemorate someone else's experience.
Many survivors commemorate a significant date or time from their cancer journey– even if they don’t have a name for it. This might be a celebration or a time of quiet reflection, but it’s always about survivorship. On this site you can share how you acknowledge this important event.
With nearly 12 million cancer survivors living in the U.S., virtually everyone is affected by cancer in some way. It’s important that we share our stories, talk about what survivorship means to us, and offer support to others so people affected by cancer know they’re not alone and that there is hope.

How do you commemorate your cancerversary each year? What do you want to share about your cancer experience? Once you’ve told your story you can regularly update your page, and you can ask your friends and family to comment – and visit often!
