A diagnosis of cancer is life altering. The cancer experience is complex, being both universal and uniquely individual; it continues beyond treatment. InnisfreeCancerHelp.org is a New Hampshire based web site dedicated to easing the distress of this experience.  The name "Innisfree" comes from the William Butler Yeats poem "The Lake Isle of Innisfree"  that describes a place of peace and serenity. 

InnisfreeCancerHelp.org is brought to you as a community service of New Hampshire Oncology-Hematology, PA, a leader in providing medical oncology and blood disease services in New Hampshire. Nine physicians treat patients in and surrounding the communities of Manchester, Derry, Exeter, Laconia and Concord. Since 1976, NHOH has approached care not just medically, but from a human perspective, striving to provide patients with information, advice, direction and options that suit their needs and desires.

Founder's Statement

Why Innisfree? My observations as an oncologist for over 15 years are supported by the latest clinical research: the level of distress experienced by many people with cancer from the initial diagnosis and beyond is unacceptably high. I think we can ultimately ease this distress by starting with a community-based effort to develop a new dialogue about the cancer experience coupled with first-rate clinical research. This will lead to fresh ideas about affordable and accessible programming that will truly do justice to the human side of this illness while improving the quality of life of people with cancer as well as their families, friends and caregivers.
