Additional Resources

We know how difficult this battle is with Castleman disease and will do our best to provide our patients and their loved ones with as much information as possible, while also providing tools and resources. On this page you will find additional resources that might benefit you on your journey with Castleman disease.

DISCLAIMER: The CDCN serves as a collaborative research and support network. We are happy to connect patients and loved ones with expert Castleman physicians; however, patients must have insurance as the CDCN cannot provide financial assistance related to healthcare coverage. We DO NOT provide any form of financial assistance.

The mission of Angel Flight East is to provide free air transportation to qualified patients and their families by arranging flights to distant medical facilities, delivering supplies to disaster areas, and reuniting families during desperate times.

Angel Flight East (AFE) is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the community by facilitating free air transportation for children and adults with medical conditions who need to get to treatment far from home. The CDCN has partnered with them to help ensure that we can work with our patients and get them the care they need.

 

We are working in collaboration with Paradigm Medical Communications to bring educational materials to oncology nurses. There are live symposiums designed to address the educational needs of oncology nurses, including advanced practice nurses (APNs) and registered nurses (RNs). It will also benefit other clinicians who manage patients with Castleman disease. You can learn more about the upcoming live events here.
