Mon Health Medical Center is providing a free support group for cancer patients, their families and caregivers.
The group will cover various topics dependent upon what those in attendance need at the time. Discussions cover topics such as “New Normal,” dealing with feelings of guilt regarding caregivers, dealing with cancer as a chronic disease. A breakout group for caregivers may be created during the sessions if enough are in attendance. Educational sessions will be offered every other meeting.
“Meeting with other people that are going through a similar situation can help someone navigate through that journey,” said Tricia Julian, oncology nurse navigator at Mon Health Cancer Center. “These support groups offer a chance for cancer patients, their families and caregivers to talk with others who understand what they’re going through and provide guidance and advice.”
The Cancer Support Group will meet at 6 p.m. at Mon Health Medical Center’s Conference Center on the following dates:
- Oct. 7 & 21
- Nov. 4 & 18
- Dec. 2 & 16
