Web-Based Support Services

• CancerConnect For everyone whose life has been touched by cancer–you do not need to be a Roswell Park patient to join us. It is a place where you can safely voice your ideas, thoughts, and concerns; benefit from the experience of others facing the same disease; and most importantly, realize you don’t have to feel alone.
• The Wizards! RPCI houses several computer kiosks that are a source of information for patients and family members regarding cancer. The Wizards are supported by CancerHelp®, a cancer information program for patients and their families. They include up-to-date information in English and Spanish from the National Cancer Institute, about diagnosis, treatment, side effects, supportive care, medications, cancer descriptions and diet & nutrition, and including videos and testimonials. The Wizards have been made available thanks to generous donations from the Roswell Park Alliance Foundation and The Advantage Woodshop.
