Let’s Beat Cancer Together

Find personalized and effective mental health support within seconds.

Our Mission

Mental Health needs for cancer patients are growing, while support isn’t. Thankfully, we’re here to help.

Currently, most cancer patients feel scared, isolated, or worried about their future. OncoSupport understands that having a cancer diagnosis takes a heavy mental and emotional toll on patients. That’s why OncoSupport has developed the first free mental health resource that is personalizable and designed for cancer patients. With us, you no longer have to suffer the mental and emotional burdens that accompany your cancer diagnosis. See our About Us page to learn more about the specific services we offer.

A 2022 study found that CBT is highly effective for treating depression in group settings, with over 50% of participants reporting improved depressive symptoms (Rasool et al., 2022).

Dr. Thomas Aloia of the MD Anderson Cancer Center explains that cancer education is vital to improve the chances of recovery, as it gives the patient more power and control over the future of their health.
