SUPPORT GROUPS

There are numerous support groups available at the Nalitt Institute. Among them are support groups for: Breast Cancer; Bereavement; Prostate Cancer; Cancer; Look Good...Feel Better; and Cancer and the Family, to name a few. All groups are conducted at no cost and in cooperation with the American Cancer Society. The public is always welcome to attend any session.

Support groups provide important and personal benefits for those living with cancer. Patients are given the oportunity to meet with people who have been through the same ordeal. Patients soon learn that they are not alone; they are encouraged by the strengths of others; they are guided by the experience of others, and they are exposed to a variety of healthcare professionals who voluntarily give their time and talent to the groups.

Periodic special events are also planned to support and encourage those living with cancer -- events like an annual Cancer Survivor's Day that celebrates the achievements of men and women succeeding despite the disease.

You can live with cancer. We're proving it every day.
