About the Event
There are approximately 116,000 cancer survivors in Oklahoma, and it
is estimated that an additional 65,000 Oklahomans will join the
survivor ranks over the next five years. These numbers do not include
the
caregivers, families and friends whose lives are significantly
altered by this disease.
In most cases, this group of Oklahomans is completely unaware of the
support and services available to them simply because this information
is not readily available in one place. People Connected By Cancer brings
together local and national experts and organizations to provide this
community of Oklahomans with the necessary information and answers
during the cancer journey.
