To enroll with the Diana Price-Fish Cancer Foundation, a cancer patient must meet all of these three criteria:

1. Be 18 years of age or older at the time of enrollment
2. Be living or receiving treatment in the state of Colorado
3. Be actively dealing with cancer (i.e. not in remission or doing preventative treatments)

If you meet these three criteria, you are eligible to enroll. Just call our office at 303-639-9110/1-800-347-4904 (within Colorado) between 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Monday - Friday and we will enroll you over the phone. Enrolling takes approximately 10 minutes.

Cancer patients enrolled with the Foundation can enjoy one activity each month for as long as they are actively dealing with cancer.


Frequently Asked Eligibility Questions

Q. I’m pursuing non-traditional cancer treatments. Am I still eligible?

A. You don’t have to be doing chemotherapy or radiation to enroll. Many of our program participants are using alternative forms of therapy. You just have to be actively dealing with cancer (not in remission).

Q. Do you have to be terminal to enroll?

A. No, you don’t have to be terminal. Only about one-eighth of our program participants have a terminal diagnosis.

Q. Can I enroll my relative/friend/significant other who is dealing with cancer in your program as a surprise?

A. We know your heart is in the right place, but we don’t do surprises. The cancer patient in your life won’t use our services if they aren’t comfortable with the idea of enrolling. We are happy to send you a brochure so you can encourage him or her to enroll with us on their own.

Q. My relative/friend/significant other who is dealing with cancer is unable to use the phone for long periods of time due to treatments or other impairment. Can I enroll them somehow?

A. If you are an immediate family member (parent, sibling, significant other, child) or sole caregiver, give us a call. As long as the cancer patient wants to enroll, we’ll work with you.

Q. I am a social worker or health care worker working directly with adult cancer patients. Can I enroll one of my clients?

A. If the adult cancer patient has asked you to call on his or her behalf and wants to enroll, we’ll work with you.

Q. My oncologist has me taking Tamoxifen for the next 5 years. Am I eligible?

A. Because Tamoxifen is a preventative drug designed to stop cancer from recurring, you are not considered to be "actively dealing with cancer" and are not eligible for our program (this is a good thing).
