Cancer care for people with disabilities (PWD) is rife with uncertainty and obstacles. Not only do PWD have to contend with cancer and treatment-related sequelae, but also its impact on disabling conditions and functional capacity, as well as a health care system lacking accessibility and disability competence. Peer support can address important needs for emotional and informational support. mHealth tools for smart phones, tablets, or laptops hold promise to deliver such support in an accessible and scalable manner. This concept is unexplored for use among PWD with cancer.
