If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with melanoma, call 877-MRF-6460 (877-673-6460) to receive free telephone counseling and reliable information about resources and ways to cope.
The Melanoma Helpline is the result of a partnership between CancerCare and The Melanoma Research Foundation. It is staffed by CancerCare’s professional oncology social workers and operates Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern Time, and on Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Eastern Time.
Melanoma, a serious form of skin cancer, is one of the fastest growing cancers worldwide, and the incidence of people under 30 developing melanoma is increasing faster than any other demographic group. Melanoma can be an aggressive and deadly cancer but people who are diagnosed in its earliest stage have a survival rate of over 90%.
Call The Melanoma Helpline at 877-MRF-6460 (877-673-6460).
