Community Support Team

A diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma can feel overwhelming. Whether you are newly diagnosed, navigating treatment, facing relapse, supporting a loved one, or adjusting to life after treatment, you do not have to face the journey alone.

Ewing Sarcoma Institute’s Community Support Team connects patients, caregivers, survivors, and family members with others who understand the unique challenges of Ewing sarcoma firsthand. Our team is made up of volunteers from the Ewing sarcoma community who have walked similar paths and are committed to offering support, encouragement, and connection.

While we do not provide medical advice, we can help you find community, share experiences, answer practical questions, and connect with resources that may be helpful along the way.No two Ewing sarcoma journeys are the same, but together we can ensure that no patient or family feels alone. We are here to listen, support, and help you navigate the road ahead.
