Save Your Skin Foundation wishes to bring hope and support to all those touched by melanoma, non-melanoma skin cancers, or ocular melanoma  – whether they are newly diagnosed, currently undergoing treatment, or “in remission” or referred to as “NED” – with no evidence of disease.

HAND IN HAND, WE FIGHT SKIN CANCER TOGETHER.

We invite all skin cancer patients, at any stage, to get in touch. We are here to help. Call us at 1-800-460-5832 or email kathy@saveyourskin.ca

For those living with melanoma, support can be vital to the healing process.

Skin Cancer Patient Support Group Chats

Informal, Private, and Free

On the first Thursday of every month, Save Your Skin Foundation hosts an evening support chat for patients, survivors and caregivers touched by melanoma, non-melanoma skin cancer, and ocular melanoma.  These chats are open discussions about life after a cancer diagnosis, including sharing experiences with varied treatment options, managing side effects, emotional and wellness support channels, navigating the health care system, and any other concern that patients and their families may have.  It is also a great opportunity to meet other patients and survivors from across Canada.

Anyone can join by phone by calling the toll-free number, or by logging in to the online option via computer, tablet or smartphone anywhere wifi is available.

We know the importance of having a good support network during difficult times. This is why we decided to organize a recurring support group chat via our online webinar platform. Although skin cancer patients and survivors are located all over Canada, these private, free, online discussions will allow them to talk to others going through similar experiences from the comfort of their own home.  Founder Kathy Barnard will be in attendance, along with other members of the SYSF team. Whether you’re a patient or a caregiver, we welcome you to take part in this virtual discussion around skin cancer, treatments, and hope.

Save Your Skin Foundation is committed to providing one-on-one support through Founder Kathy Barnard. We also provide support from other patients and survivors through our initiative “I’m Living Proof”

The term ‘survivor’ can mean different things to different people. For some, a survivor may have completed active treatment and is free from any signs of melanoma. For others, the term may refer to anyone who has been diagnosed with melanoma.

Save Your Skin Foundation wishes to bring hope and support to all those newly diagnosed, currently undergoing treatment, or to those “in remission” or referred to as “NED” – with no evidence of disease. This website focuses on those individuals that have generally completed active treatment and that are in remission or on maintenance therapy; however, we invite all melanoma patients, at any stage, to get in touch.

Making awareness and education available is crucial. Since 2006, the Foundation has worked to raise awareness of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers focusing on education, prevention and the need for improved patient care.
