Bag It & SHARE: Guiding You Through Cancer
Bag It has partnered with SHARE Cancer Support to provide you the valuable Bag It Bag. In addition to ordering a standard Bag or a uterine cancer specific Bag you can learn more about SHARE and the support they offer for anyone affected by women’s cancers.
Cancer doesn’t come with a map, so we help you create one with our take everywhere binder designed to organize your appointments and records. Need reliable cancer information, coping tips, support, questions to ask? It’s all in the bag.
What’s in the Bag
Current, Comprehensive, and Customizable
Our goal is to help empower patients, through information, to help them navigate a cancer diagnosis.
