Angels USA |
Join
us as a Chemotherapy Patient...
Thank you for your interest in the Chemo Angels program. Our program was created for people who are going through intensive, IV chemo. If your application is accepted, you will be "adopted" by two Angels who, through cards, cheerful notes, and possibly occasional small, inexpensive gifts, will support and encourage you for the duration of your course of treatment.
Patients generally graduate from Chemo Angels 4-6 weeks after their last treatment, be it chemo or radiation, and after they have either moved on to maintenance drugs or received good results from their first post-treatment tests. Our program has an 18 month maximum time limit.
Many of our Angels are cancer survivors themselves, but most are not. Please do not expect to be assigned to someone who has experienced cancer first-hand.
At this time we are able to accept patients who are in active treatment only. Although exceptions are made, in general we are not able to accept patients who are:
-
in remission or NED (no evidence of disease)
-
on long-term chemo
-
close to the end of treatment
-
post-bone marrow, or post-stem cell transplant
-
on maintenance drugs
-
under the age of 24 months
-
past the first 6 months of treatment for ALL and in the maintenance phase
All patients must accept our General Terms & Conditions in order to participate in the Chemo Angels program. Please do not sign up for someone else without their complete knowledge and consent! Thank you.
