 The Bag It bag
Every 18 to 24 months we gather a committee of cancer survivors, care partners, oncology care providers, and nonprofit partners to conduct a review of the Bag It bag. They assess how the current bag content and design are meeting the needs of people with cancer, their care partners, families, and the healthcare providers who care for them. The group also considers how the bag could be improved. The Covid-19 pandemic did not prevent us from completing this important review process, or continuing our work. For the Bag It Team, the challenges it brought reinforced that this valuable resource is critical for those dealing with cancer, renewing our commitment to our mission of educating, supporting, and empowering those impacted by cancer.

"When I was diagnosed with cancer, everything felt scary, frightening and out of control. The bag helped me feel more in control of my treatment & treatment options. Knowing I had some control helped ease the fear from my initial diagnosis." Survivor (AZ)
