Cancer Support Groups 

Each cancer patient or survivor has had his or her own unique experience. A support group can help you cope with the various stages of the cancer process. According to studies, cancer support groups can boost self-esteem, reduce depression and anxiety and improve family and friend relationships. 

People with cancer face not only physical and medical challenges, but also emotional reactions to their disease. Connecting with other cancer patients and survivors can be a strong source of comfort and emotional support. The atmosphere in our support group may help you share feelings and experiences related to cancer, which can help reduce the stress and fear that are so common. Support from our medical team as well as others in the support group can help improve your quality of life by helping you feel less isolated and stressed. Our support group is also an excellent place to gather more information about current treatments from our health professionals.
