Welcome to the GCS Marketplace
The GCS Marketplace is a shop designed for patients undergoing treatments for cancer. Our GCS support services task force has spent many hours choosing the best products to recommend to our patients.
The products that are for sale in the Marketplace are the same products we recommend when patients visit our offices.
Our first recommendations are cancer-related books. If you'd like to suggest a book, or suggest a type of product you find helpful, please fill out our information form.
Hilife Greetings
Finally—premium greeting cards especially for cancer patients and their families. Breast cancer survivor Jolie Rose… experienced the difficulty of some to express their concern for her as she underwent treatments. So Jolie created these beautiful cards for others.
Bill Todd, President and CEO of the Georgia Cancer Coalition, states, "HiLife Greetings by Jolie Rose... are creative, heartwarming messages for cancer patients. The cards fill a niche for those who wish to comfort friends and loved ones who have cancer. They are unique, upbeat and unequivocally compelling."
A portion of Marketplace proceeds will be donated to the Magic of Life Foundation. See the cards at www.hilifegreetings.com.
New Nutritional Supplement is Being Recommended to all GCS Patients
The GCS Research and Therapeutics committee selected Resurgex Select as the first line nutritional supplement for our patients. Resurgex Select is a calorically dense nutritional product formulated with the highest quality carbohydrates, protein and fat, and can be added to juice or milk. We feel Resurgex Select is superior to other nutritional supplements (like Boost and Ensure) since it is low in high fructose corn syrup and Vitamin K (important for patients on coumadin), and contains soluble fiber. Read more about and purchase Resurgex Select.
A Partnership Supporting a Good Cause
GCS has also partnered with Conquering-Cancer.com—a web site that was established by a survivor to provide products designed to support cancer survivors, their families, and friends who have been touched by the disease.
The line of products in our Cancer Survivor Store has been developed with the special understanding of what it means to be a cancer survivor. From chemotherapy hats, survivor apparel, mugs, and other items celebrating survival, Conquering Cancer products are a tribute to surviving cancer through all stages—diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.
Proceeds from marketplace sales go to support the Georgia Cancer Foundation.
The Mark for Life: A Breast Self Examination Shirt
Mark for Life has created a simple yet effective breast self examination device to help women take a proactive role in the fight against breast cancer. The most effective way to fight breast cancer is to detect it early, and research shows that women who perform regular breast self exams find 70% of all breast cancer masses. Although Mark for Life is not an adequate replacement for regular doctor visits or mammograms, breast self exams are an indispensable primary preventative health measure, and we've created a wonderfully simple tool that can help women stay healthy.
