| Cancer Support Group This group is made out of cancer survivors who have battled cancer, they share their experiences with newly diagnosed cancer patients and help them cope with cancer. Often families are distraught with the situation could also find comfort in meeting up with the support group. The support group provide a setting in which cancer patients can talk about living with cancer with others who may be having similar experiences. Attention to the emotional burden of having cancer is often a part of a patient's treatment plan. The support of the health care team (doctors, nurses, social workers), support groups, and patient-to-patient networks can help people feel less isolated and distressed, and improve the quality of their lives. |
