Talking helps
Many individuals and family members find support groups to be beneficial to their healing. Even though our patients receive support from family and friends, the main reason they attend a support group is to be with others who have experienced a similar situation. Information is provided and questions are addressed. The various groups offered are all facilitated by professionals with many years of experience in assisting those along the cancer journey.
