People with cancer sometimes find they need assistance coping with the emotional as well as the practical aspects of the disease. Cancer support groups are designed to provide a confidential atmosphere where cancer patients or cancer survivors can discuss the challenges that accompany the illness with others who may have had similar experiences.
People gather to discuss the emotional needs created by cancer, to exchange information about their disease, including practical problems such as getting to and from treatment or managing side effects, and share their feelings.
Family and friends are also affected when cancer touches someone they love. In addition to supporting the person with cancer, family members and friends may need help with their needs. These carers play an important part in the support group.
We hope we can be of assistance to you and welcome new members to the group. You might find that reading other peoples stories about their journeys along the cancer pathway as patients or carers helps you in your own individual circumstances.
