Cancer Hope Network, a national, non-profit organization offers free, confidential,     one-on-one emotional support to adult cancer patients and their families/caregivers.  Support is provided via telephone toll-free by over 375 trained volunteers who have been through a similar cancer experience, have recovered and are again leading productive lives. Patients are matched with survivor volunteers based on cancer type, treatment, side effects, stage, age, and gender. By giving recently diagnosed patients the gift of Hope, CHN's survivors help them successfully cope with their cancer and its treatment.
