Bag It provides information to people with any cancer and their families to help them cope with their diagnosis and treatment. Bag It helps Fight The Fear. Bag It will empower patients to be more involved in their care, advocate for themselves, and learn to cope with the challenges associated with diagnosis and treatment.
