Connecting with others who are going through the same form of cancer is very helpful. The patient can ask questions and get answers from others who are also dealing with the disease. This helps the patient feel that they arent alone. Support groups can help after the diagnosis, during treatment, and beyond, as the patient is coming to terms with how his or her life will be changed, even for many years to come, beyond the final treatment. Some people enjoy a group setting, while others like to remain anonymous or to have individual counseling. What works best for you depends on your situation and personality. Some people just like to stay at home and talk from their computer, while others need a hug or a pat on the back. No matter which avenue you take, it can be a lonely journey, so dont go it all alone!
