You're Not Alone

You don’t have to fight cancer alone. Amgen’s Breakaway from Cancer aims to raise awareness of the comprehensive array of resources available to cancer patients – from prevention to education and support to financial assistance and survivorship. In addition, Amgen and Breakaway from Cancer help spread the word about working together to conquer cancer through partnerships with organizations including the Lance Armstrong Foundation, the Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope & Healing and Stand Up To Cancer.
