Cancer support groups are gatherings where individuals affected by cancer can share their experiences, feelings, and challenges. These groups provide a safe space for patients, survivors, and caregivers to connect with others who understand their journey. Participants often discuss coping strategies, treatment options, and emotional support, fostering a sense of community. Support groups can be led by trained facilitators or may be peer-led, allowing for open dialogue. They can take place in person or online, making them accessible to a wider audience. Many organizations, such as the American Cancer Society, offer resources to help individuals find suitable support groups in their area.
