For Any Cancer Diagnosis
- My 24-year-old son was recently diagnosed with cancer and I think it would be a good idea for him to join a support group. How do I convince him?
- I am 28 years old and it seems like I'm the only one my age with cancer. Is there anyone else like me out there?
- I'm worried that a few side effects from my cancer treatment won't go away. Do you know how long they might last?
- I've finished treatment and now I feel like I'm on my own. Are there things I should be doing?
- I've been trying to get back to normal after ending treatment, but I'm having some trouble. Everyone is happy that I'm back to work, but I'm not sure I am. Why am I feeling this way and what should I do?
- My dad was diagnosed with cancer last month. He and my mother live in another state, and I have a family of my own so I can't be there to help them out on a daily basis. What can I do to support them from far away?
- What are support groups and how can they help me? How do I know if they're right for me?
- I'd like to organize a support group for cancer survivors and people facing a cancer diagnosis. What do I need to do to get one started?
- I'd like more information about how to help a close friend being treated for cancer. I'm also wondering if a support group could help me, too?
- What are the different types of online groups I can join?
- How do I find groups to connect with others who may be experiencing similar issues or side effects from cancer treatment?
