You can connect with others going through a similar cancer experience
If you are feeling a sense of detachment or isolation even if you are surrounded by friends and family who care for you, joining a support group may give you an extra outlet to validate your feelings among people who are also experiencing cancer. You will learn from their experiences and have opportunities to share your own coping methods and practical information.
All LLSC support groups are offered virtually and are suitable only for Canadian residents.
