Shh: Can You Keep a Secret?

Can you keep a secret? We can – and we welcome them!

Everyone keeps secrets. We file some things away to keep as a secret: a white lie, a way to protect other people, or even a way to protect ourselves. But when those secrets are brought to the light: we can feel a lot less alone.


Cactus Cancer Society is proud to announce the introduction of our newest program, Cancer Secrets. Have something you want to anonymously celebrate? A thought you need to get off your chest? Send it on to us! Grab a postcard or make one, containing your secret, and send it to the following address:

Cancer Secrets
PO Box 282
Bordentown, NJ 08505

We’ll share a collection of them on social media so others can reflect, respond, and connect with your secrets – because no one understands more than prickly pals. Whether you’re a patient, survivor, or a caregiver, there’s a place for you to share the secret parts of yourself.

Some secrets are too heavy to carry, even when shared on a postcard. If you are having thoughts of self-harm, need mental health-related crisis support, or if you are worried about someone else: call or text 988 to connect with a trained crisis counselor in the United States and Canada. For all other countries, please click here to find the best resource for your location.
