Programas
The Colorado Gynecologic Cancer Alliance has many emotional and financial assistance programs to help you through this challenging time.
​​
Nicki's Circle Gynecologic Cancer Group Support
Connect with others going through an ovarian or other gynecologic cancer diagnosis in a professionally facilitated supportive setting. Those in all phases of the cancer experience are welcome: newly diagnosed, in treatment, after treatment, in recurrence, and long-term survivors. We have several Nicki’s Circle Gynecologic Cancer Support Groups per month, including one in person. Please contact staff at 720-519-3122 before attending the first time.

Individual Support
We are available to talk with you individually by phone about the emotional challenges of being diagnosed, of going through treatment and adjusting to life after treatment. You will speak with a master’s level counselor trained as part of our Ovarian Cancer: Individual Support Program.

Financial Support - Carol's Wish Financial Navigation
Our expert financial advocates are here to help you navigate through the financial aspect of your medical treatment. One of our advocates will connect with you by phone to review your current medical coverage and clinical treatment plan and, if needed, work together to create a new, personalized strategy to minimize your financial burden going forward.

Information Support
Our extensive cancer resource guide is different! It is built from the suggestions of those who attend our support group. Our Resource Guide provides useful tips, information and resources available locally without having to sort through all the junk on the web. Visit our online Resource Guide HERE.

​Young Survivor Support
CGCA partners with the Young Survivors Group: GET + TOGETHER, that meets the first Thursday evening of the month at a local restaurant. (A young survivor is someone under 40 years of age.) We can add you to the email list for monthly reminders. To learn more, contact:
