Cancer affects many aspects of your life and the lives of those who are close to you.
We encourage our patients and their families to consider joining a support group to broaden their knowledge, to connect with community services, and to share their experiences and the journey to recovery. There are a number of support groups in Western Washington for both patients and caregivers. Some groups meet in person, but others are online groups – great for those who are housebound or have transportation difficulties.
