Calling all members of the thyroid cancer community!

We want to give you a big welcome to our Thyroid Cancer Virtual Support Group. We are all thyroid cancer patients/survivors in different places with treatment or survivorship, and our bios can be found below. Since this is peer-led, we genuinely understand the issues you might be struggling with, and want to offer support in any way we can.

While we cannot provide medical advice, we CAN speak about our own experiences with treatments, and other aspects of living with thyroid cancer. All types of thyroid cancer are welcome, including (and never limited to) Papillary, Follicular, Medullary,
and Anaplastic.

We can’t wait to meet you, or see you again!

To receive a reminder notice before each meeting, please sign up here.

The virtual group meets at 8-9:30 pm Eastern on the 3rd Wednesday of each month (in AnCan’s Virtual Schmier Room). You can join online or by phone at +1 646 749 3129 with access code 656-182-845.

See the Joining Instructions Panel above right for more information and other Country Access codes. Our groups are always free and drop-in – no registration required!

Art Class was back in session with Hannah teaching us about fall trees, including fun add ons to your fall escape like owls, squirrels, and a swing.

Anything goes here! While markers were the main medium, we heard about coffee, soy sauce, and gum as potential art supplies.

On September 15th, Hannah Garrison (Artist, MS activist, and moderator for our MS virtual support group) brought her magic back to AnCan. We made different types of Owls with oil pastels, and in keeping true to the education part in our tagline (Advocacy Support Education), we learned a lot about Owls.

Webinar: Mental Health and Multiple Sclerosis

On August 31st, we had an incredible webinar tilted Mental Health and Multiple Sclerosis. Featuring Dr. Lauren Strober (Senior research scientist in the Center for Neuropsychology & Neuroscience Research at Kessler Foundation and assistant professor of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at Rutgers University New Jersey Medical School), Carly Podzikowski, and Kim Stroeh for tips and tricks on how to “feel” through the emotions that come and go with the crazy ride that is Multiple Sclerosis.

Our services are free, but if you benefit then please consider a tax deductible donation. You can also support us by signing up to Amazon Smile and nominating Answer Cancer Foundation at no cost to you.

AnCan does not provide medical advice – we do empower you to manage your own care.
