Support group for cancer patient?

I'm still doing tests,examinations,visit doctors and sites about my condition (precancerous cells in cervix and possible cancer of the endometrium). There are lots of supporting groups and organisations if you just search. Hospitals also have specialised personnel in psychology. I think that the best is having friends and family by your side, because all others treat you out of pity.

If you go to a website called www.beliefnet.com, just create an account, which is free, and takes about one minute, and after that it's relatively easy. On the left-hand side of the page, you can locate the link "prayer circles", and there is even a support group for cancer. I find this site quite easy to navigate, although not all users will be believers in Jesus Christ.

look into support groups, ask your doctor about groups that meet.  exercise in warm water is really good.

The first few days/weeks are a whirlwind with most cancer diagnoses. There is no way to remember everything you will be told, try and keep a notebook. Write the person's name and the important stuff they say. Never be afraid to make them repeat something or ask what some medical jargon means. Get all you questions answered (write those down too- you'll forget them the second someone who can answer them comes into the room).\nEach person is different as far as the coarse of treatment. Just be sure to ask questions and don't be afraid to get a second opinion.

I went through chemo for 6 months and I loved the dinners people would bring over because I was so weak I could barely get the energy to get out of bed.  Sometimes people would just drop off dinner at the front door in case I didn't want company.  Another great idea is offering to spend time with your friend by taking them out for normal things like shopping, or even helping around the house (I didn't have enough energy to wash a load of clothes)  They will appreciate that more than any other gift you would buy. Flowers are a nice touch, or a good book.

You can look up info on the internet just by searching for breast cancer or cancer as the topic.  To find someone to talk to in person call your local hospital for a reference to an organiztion that deals with cancer patients and/or surivivors.  Hospice is an excellent organization...They have connections to diet and holisitc treatments, not only for those who are close to death, but also for those who are full of life.  An oncologist is an expert in cancer therapies including a good diet to promote healing or to promote optimal health during chemo and/or radiation therapy.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss.  As a cancer patient myself I personally feel that you handled the situation very well and that your mother understood the depth of your love for her.  I'm happiest when my family is doing normal things and not concentrating on cancer.  Big hugs to you.

Contact the AMerican Cancer Society. They can offer help to you and your mom. They can send you information, find doctors, explain chemo or medication questions, and they can help find someone you can talk to about your feelings.\n\nI will keep you and your mom  in my prayers!!

Yes we do.  My mother and her two sister have a team called the Three Sisters.  We so far have had a mystery dinner.  And next month we are having a golf tourney and possibly this summer a concert to raise money for relay for life.  I am an 8 year survivor.  My one aunt just lost her husband to brain cancer and my other aunt has a daughter now battling cancer.  God bless people like you.  As for my favorite part it is meeting people who have gone through the same thing that I have.  And if anyone want to participate just visit the American cancer society for details in your area.  Just remember all the money raised will one day help eradicate this terrible disease.
