COLONTOWN is an online community of more than 120 “secret” groups on Facebook for colorectal cancer patients, survivors, and carepartners. If you or your loved one is facing a colon cancer or rectal cancer diagnosis, you can join groups (we call them “neighborhoods”) based on your stage of disease, specific types of treatment, and special interests – such as colorectal cancer clinical trials, young-onset colorectal cancer patients, and local support groups. Every neighborhood is led by Neighborhood Hosts, themselves living the experience.
