Dealing with cancer is hard for both patients and family members. And in many ways, our practice functions as a very caring support group. But there are other groups outside our office that can provide patients and families with added information, guidance and an unparalleled understanding of living through cancer. Support groups are usually led by a healthcare provider with expertise in a particular type of cancer and open to patients as well as family members.
