It's Here!


Introducing The Cancer Journey Website!
The newly designed website, thecancerjourney.org is sure to become the central source of timely information for patients and caregivers as they undergo treatment for a cancer.  Replacing Cancersymptoms.org, the newly update site will continue to offer quality patient education resources, including a patient version of ONS PEP Cards. 



What's new at the National Level - Under construction


The National ONS website is undergoing an upgrade so some of the links we had listed are no longer active.  I have removed some content from our site and when it is reactivated on the National site, I replace it.

Sorry for the inconvenience.  In the meantime, check out the changes to the National ONS site at www.ons.org.

Thanks,

Martha

Kaleidoscope

Remember 2008’s “Frosted Pink With a Twist”?  Well, “Kaleidoscope” is the name of this year’s event which will be aired on Thanksgiving Day.  This family-oriented TV special will focus on women and cancer. 

Kaleidoscope is a holiday entertainment variety special featuring Olympic skating champions and GRAMMY Award-winning music artists. Viewers will be thrilled with the historic return of the legendary Scott Hamilton and Dorothy Hamill matched with fellow cancer survivor Olivia Newton-John. Kaleidoscope addresses issues surrounding women and cancer through an extraordinary collaboration with 10 advocacy partners.  More than 15,000 cancer survivors are expected to attend the taping of Kaleidoscope in our nation’s capitol.

 

Tune into FOX from 4:00-5:30 p.m. (EST) on Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 26) 2009 to watch Kaleidoscope unite Survivorship, Sport, and Song into this unparalleled event and celebration. 

ONS is one of the advocacy partners for Kaleidoscope, and we want to encourage our members to spread the word about the program to their families, patients, and patients’ families.  More information will be coming as plans for the event progress.
