Support Groups and CounselingBeing diagnosed with cancer is a physically and emotionally trying
experience. Many avenues for support exist within the local community and
beyond, both for the patient and for the patient's family and friends.
The American Cancer Society has information on many local support groups. In
addition, social workers, counselors, psychiatrists, and clergy can also be
helpful in providing information and companionship through difficult times
caused by the cancer.
