Right now in the Ottawa region more than 30-thousand people are fighting cancer.

Some are getting help dealing with the diagnosis and treatment from a Cancer Coach.

The Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation's Maplesoft Centre has four coaches working with clients in hour-long sessions, guiding them through their cancer journey.

The coaching is paid for through the foundation's fundraising.

In the last three years Cancer Coaches at the Maplesoft Centre have helped 2,000 patients.

The Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation will be making an exciting announcement on Monday that it says will transform cancer care in this city. Tune in to CTV Morning Live at 7 AM to see that announcement.
