Tapping into Your Resources: Support Groups
We encourage all of our patients and their families to get involved with support groups. Managing a cancer diagnosis and the treatment process that goes along with that can be very stressful and challenging. Being able to talk to others in a similar situation can be extremely valuable for coping with cancer. Some of the support groups available include:
- Man-to-Man Prostate Cancer
- The First Years: Breast Cancer Educational Series
- Breast Cancer Survivors
Man-to-Man Prostate Cancer Support Group
This is an American Cancer Society support group that Memorial Health System supports and facilitates. The support group educates men and their families to help them cope with prostate cancer. Trained prostate cancer survivors facilitate the support group, and specialists in various fields speak on medical and quality-of-life issues.
