Welcome to Our New Website!

 
Welcome to the new PowerfulPatients.org – our team has worked diligently for more than 18 months to help bring you broad content based on science and grounded in our vision that everyone will have the information they need for their cancer journey. We’ve rebuilt our site from the ground up to make it easier to find what you need—whether it’s info on treatment, survivorship, or support. It’s clearer, faster, and packed with resources designed to help you feel informed and empowered.
 
Personally, I remember lots of 3 am wake ups when I was first diagnosed, searching the internet for help and hope. I wish PEN’s resources had been available for me then, and I am so grateful that we can provide them to you now.
 
We’re still putting on some finishing touches, so if you run into any hiccups, just let us know. We’re glad you’re here!
