Imerman Angels realizes that generating awareness for rare diseases of all kinds is an important cause and would like to reiterate our work to support those facing rare cancers specifically.
For our part, we have been connecting cancer fighters and caregivers to their surviving counterparts – Mentor Angels – for over a decade and many of those connections have been made with those affected by rare cancers.
While any cancer diagnosis can be a frightening experience, those confronted with the diagnosis of a rare cancer can face heightened levels of isolation and fear due to lack of resources. Imerman Angels works hard to help those navigate these emotional experiences through our Mentor Angel program.
Here are just a few of the specific cancers that we have addressed through our 1-on-1 support network:
Adrenal Gland Cancer – Adrenocortical Carcinoma
Ductal Prostate Cancer – Ductal Prostate Carcinoma
Small-Cell Sinus Cancer
Eye Lymphoma – Intraocular Lymphoma
Chronic T-cell Lymphocytic Leukemia – T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL)
Lymphomatoid Granulomatosis (LYG)
Sinus Cancer – Sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC)
Scrotal Cancer – squamous cell carcinoma of scrotum
Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with ROS1 mutation
Linitis Plastica Stomach Cancer – Gastric Linitis Plastica
Salivary Gland Cancer of the Mandible – Mandible/Submandibular Carcinoma
Waldenstroms (WM) Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma – Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia
Chronic Eosinophilic Leukemia (CEL)
Renal Pelvis and Ureter Cancer – Transitional Cell Urethral Cancer
Granulosa Cell Tumor of the Ovaries
Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) – Malignant hepatoma liver cancer
Ocular Melanoma – intraocular choroidal melanoma
Double Hit Lymphoma (DHL)
Our mission is to find anyone facing cancer the emotional support wherever and whenever it is needed and with all the resources that we have in our network. From common cancers affecting tens of thousands to rare cancers affecting a small population, we believe that no one should ever have to face cancer alone.
