iCARE: The Cancer Care Journey
For & By People who CARE about Cancer. A Reference Index of Insights.
Hello, Dear Reader! Welcome to our new Carer Mentor community members!
I’m Victoria. You can read why I’m publishing Carer Mentor here: Who Started Carer Mentor and Why?
The Cancer Care Journey is an evolving reference map of insights I’m building with the support of the Carer Mentor Kinship.
The focus is not only on the person diagnosed with cancer but also on the caregiver, friends, family, doctors, nurses, and broader care support.
The aim is to provide a big-picture overview leveraging insights from many sources, e.g. my personal experiences, the iCARE: Cancer Anthology, the Carer Mentor Kinship (support network), Macmillan Cancer Support, Carers UK and other experts’.
This is the main index of The Cancer Care Journey. It’s housed in the iCARE Stack of Carer Mentor (best viewed on the desktop version of the website)

The Cancer Care Journey is an index reference you can access whenever/however you wish.
I recommend Bookmarking this index as a Go-To reference.
I’ll continue to work on building insights from my experiences and existing published resources (other publications on Substack and experts/organisations).
Today, more than ever, the most potent kindness can be connecting in empathy with others through our lived experiences.
