Find the support you need
If you have cancer, there are programs that offer information and support. The stress of any illness can often be helped by joining a support group where members share common experiences and problems.

Support programs exist in a variety of formats including counseling, support groups and self-help programs. For those who cannot attend meetings, there are also on-line mechanisms that allow a patient to "chat" with other people facing similar situations. These types of programs can provide a way for you to relate your experience firsthand with others and may provide helpful treatment-related tips about drug side-effects.

Care Imaging has a cancer care co-ordinator which can put you in touch with support groups and other types of self-help programs.
