We have long believed that cancer-related advocacy takes place on an advocacy continuum with self advocacy on one end and public interest advocacy on the other.
All patients and family members - and frequently friends of people dealing with cancer - have had to be self advocates at some point, often by expressing their wishes for a certain approach to care. NCCS provides tools like the Cancer Survival Toolbox® to give people the skills to be effective self advocates.
Self-advocacy skills, such as learning about treatment issues and speaking up to get the best care for yourself or a loved one, are skills that can also be applied to public interest advocacy.
By joining Cancer Advocacy Now! you will become part of a strong network of advocates who take action to secure quality cancer care for all Americans. Sign up today!
