Cancer Support

First Wednesday of the Month 11:00 - 12:00 at the Practice

The purpose of a cancer care support group is to provide emotional, social, and practical support for people affected by cancer—patients, survivors, care givers, and sometimes family members. These groups help individuals cope with the many challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.

Emotional Support

  • Offer a safe space to express fears, sadness, anger, or hope
  • Reduce feelings of isolation, anxiety, and depression.
  • Connect with people who truly understand because they’ve had similar experiences.

Information Sharing

  • Exchange reliable information about:
  • Treatment options
  • Side effects and symptom management
  • Nutrition and wellness
  • Coping strategies
  • Learn from others’ experiences and **make more informed decisions**.

Empowerment and Coping

  • Encourage positive thinking and resilience.
  • Help members develop practical coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.
  • Foster a sense of control and confidence in managing their care journey.

Practical Help

  • Share resources such as:
  • Transportation options
  • Financial assistance
  • Local healthcare services
  • Provide tips for daily living during treatment or recovery.

Community and Connection: Sign posting

  • Patient-focused Groups
  • Survivor groups
  • Care giver support groups for spouses, family, and friends caring for someone with cancer.
  • Grief support for those who have lost loved ones to cancer.
