Living With Cancer: A Journal Writing Support Group

Description:

CancerCare is offering a free, 8-week live writing group for people ages 18+, who are diagnosed with cancer in New York or New Jersey and are receiving a form of active treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, hormonal treatments and/or advanced cancer treatment) or are up to 18 months post-treatment. This group will provide a dedicated space to respond to writing prompts, reflect upon and share your writing with the group and exchange support and guidance while discussing the unique challenges of living with a cancer diagnosis.

Our Groups:

• Assist you in learning new ways of coping
• Help you improve communication with your medical team and loved ones
• Provide you with practical information about treatment
