Cancer Support Group

This group is an opportunity to connect with other people who are also living life with cancer. By sharing both what they have in common as well as the unique ways cancer affects their lives, group members normalize the challenges they are facing together as well as the strategies that work in meeting those challenges. By participating in this Cancer Support Group, you will exchange support and learn valuable information and coping strategies.

Common topics in the group are understanding the diagnosis; coping with the side-effects of treatment; communicating with loved ones, friends and medical professionals; defining a “new normal” with new tasks, roles and responsibilities; experiencing mood changes; and changes in values and priorities. Groups are led by a facilitator who is trained at the Master’s or Doctoral level.

The Cancer Support group meets on Wednesday evenings. Please call 630-654-5117 for more information and for group times.
