The Liposarcoma Mentor Program connects patients and caregivers with others who have walked a similar path. Through one-on-one peer support, this program offers a safe space to ask questions, share concerns, and learn from someone who truly understands. Mentors are not medical professionals, but they are experienced guides—fellow patients or caregivers—who can help you feel more informed, empowered, and supported as you navigate the ups and downs of life with liposarcoma.
Why Join?
Whether newly diagnosed, in treatment, or in remission, having a mentor can provide valuable insights into Navigating a rare cancer like liposarcoma can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone.
