Support Groups
Many patients and their families say that what brought them through the good and bad times during and after treatment, was the support of other patients and caregivers. Some have even said that being at CTCA created an “in house” support system for them. This section of the Cancer Fighter website is designed to offer you links to area cancer support groups and online support communities. If you can’t find a group that fits your needs, please call your Cancer Fighter Coordinator. We’ll help you find a place where you can support others – and be supported.
You can also search for other Cancer Fighter's who live in your area.
