Cancer Support Groups
The diagnosis of cancer often causes a lot of anxiety and can affect one's entire life. There are numerous support groups for cancer patients.
Although some research suggests that support group participation can increase survival time, other studies have not replicated this, so patients should decide whether to use support groups depending on their own needs and preferences.
