Support Groups for Patients and Their Families with Cancer

If you are a cancer patient, family member, or caregiver for someone who has cancer, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) holds support groups. LLS has chapters all over the U.S. I attended one and found it immensely helpful. Not only is it good to know you are not alone in fighting cancer, but it is helpful to learn about other resources you may not know are available to you. Where I live there are several groups in my metro region, each of which hold support groups. To find a support group near you, visit http://lls.org to get the number of your local chapter.
