Cancer: resources and referrals

Are you caring for a person dealing with cancer?

Make your daily life easier as a caregiver of someone or a child with cancer:

• supporting someone you are caring for who has prostate cancer;
• supporting the person I am caring for who has breast cancer;
• what you need to know about cancer;
• addressing administrative formalities and taxation.

Québec has many priorities for action: prevention, screening, access to care and optimizing the treatment process.

Fondation québécoise du cancer

Fondation québécoise du cancer provides everyday support to thousands of Quebecers dealing with cancer and to their loved ones.

The Foundation offers complementary therapies — physical wellness and psychological support — as well as the largest accommodation network in the province and offers financial and legal assistance programs to people with cancer and in precarious situations. Through its Programme à Félix, Fondation québécoise du cancer offers adapted help to young people aged 15 to 39 affected by cancer.
