This group has an educational and supportive focus. On the
first and third Wednesday of the month, patients and caregivers
meet separately. Individuals with cancer and their loved ones
are able to process the physical and emotional changes related
to facing the challenge of cancer. In a safe, supportive environment,
members are able to increase their social support, enhance
their relationships with family members, friends, healthcare
professionals, and improve their quality of life by learning
about their disease and treatment. Participants explore the
art of learning to live with a cancer diagnosis and understand
how their lives have changed by this illness.
