Men, women, and children with cancer:
All ages, all stages. From the moment of diagnosis through treatment and beyond, the effects of cancer aren’t only physical – there is a profound emotional and social impact as well. Joining a community of people who have experienced cancer firsthand can decrease the sense of isolation and empower you as you live with cancer.
Their family and friends:
The impact of cancer extends beyond the person who has been diagnosed. Learning to balance the need to provide care and support with everyday responsibilities is something no one should have to face alone.
People who are grieving the loss of someone to cancer:
When a loved one dies, communicating feelings of grief and loss can be very difficult. Talking with others who are going through the grieving process is often beneficial.
Cancer survivors:
For many people, having had cancer is a life-changing experience and their social and emotional support needs continue into remission. The Cancer Support Community Greater Philadelphia understands that a clean bill of health, as absolutely wonderful as that is, does not magically erase everything that came before it.
