Fighting Chance is a free-of-charge cancer counseling and resource center on the East End of Long Island, New York. We are independent from any hospital and funded solely by charitable contributions, providing patients and their caregivers a better chance- a fighting chance - to beat cancer by helping them to take informed action. Free access to hard hard-to-find resources and professional counseling is available from the time of diagnosis through treatment and survivorship. What makes Fighting Chance distinctive is the comprehensive range of services, free of charge, to the five towns of the East End. Professional counseling is available in one-on-one sessions, and support groups. Patient navigation of the health care system is provided by a dedicated staff member and a unique, 95 page guide to local cancer care resources, "Coping with Cancer on the East End"
