Firefighter Cancer Support Network, Ohio

We provide critical assistance for career or volunteer, active or retired firefighters, emergency medical service providers, and their immediate family members who have been diagnosed with cancer. We deliver valuable post-diagnosis resources followed by unique badge to badge, one-on-one mentorship from one of our 220 fire-service mentors who have first-hand knowledge about battling cancer. They s

hare their survivor’s journey about their particular types of cancer, their own experiences with testing and treatments, and offer valuable insight into the recovery process. Within days, we deploy an FCSN signature toolbox free of charge. Our toolbox contains valuable resources, including our comprehensive Firefighter’s Guide to Cancer Survivorship, to help you stay organized, informed, and effectively communicate with your doctors, loved ones, and brothers and sisters in the fire service. Most importantly, the toolbox will remind you every day that you are not alone. Our dedicated team will be by you and your family’s side from diagnosis, through treatment to recovery. Disclaimer: The Firefighter Cancer Support Network is a volunteer group of cancer survivors, whose objective is to provide timely support to Fire Department employees (and immediate family members) diagnosed with any form of cancer, or who are dealing with ongoing cancer issues. Our mission is to provide comfort, strength and hope through our own personal experiences. We will also provide other support options such as the Department Chaplains, Behavioral Health Services and other cancer support programs.
