FIREFIGHTER’S GUIDE to CANCER SURVIVORSHIP

The Firefighter Cancer Support Network is proud to announce the debut of our first published handbook. The FCSN has created this handbook to assist firefighters, EMS personnel and their family members diagnosed with cancer. It was written and compiled to provide easy access to answers, articles, and testimonials that address some of the basic concerns that surround any cancer diagnosis.

The handbook is meant to be used with other resources provided by the FCSN, including the Badge-to-Badge Mentor Program and the FCSN Toolbox. We hope that these three resources will work to address the social, professional, and practical needs of firefighters diagnosed with cancer, and that with each resource will have a starting point to strategize and prepare for the battle that lies ahead.
