Corporate Angel Network
The Corporate Angel Network arranges free travel service to cancer patients using empty seats on corporate jets. Using a small paid staff and 35 volunteers, they have been able to arrange over 2,500 flights in the past year to leading treatment centers.
Anyone is able to use this service — the need is not based on finances, as the cost is free. Patients may use the services as often as needed. The only requirement is that the patient must be ambulatory and not require the use of medical equipment when traveling.

Having cancer stinks. Joining a support group can provide you with tools to make it less isolating and more tolerable.
