Sometimes you need to talk to someone who isn’t a doctor or a family member. Houston has unique local organizations that pair you with peers.
CanCare Houston: This local non-profit specializes in “support surgery.” They pair you one-on-one with a cancer survivor who has had your specific diagnosis (like Osteosarcoma or Ewing Sarcoma) and understands the Houston treatment journey.
The Jung Center: Located in the Museum District, they offer “Mind-Body-Spirit” programs and expressive arts specifically for oncology patients to help process the emotional weight of treatment through creativity.
