Your Cancer Community. Find support from cancer patients and survivors through inspiring video stories and support groups.

Find a support group.

A cancer diagnosis is never easy. While your doctors will explain your results and treatment plans, sometimes the best reassurance comes from others who have shared the same experiences.

Health First Cancer Support Group

The Cancer Institute provides support groups to set up connections with others experiencing similar situations in a safe and compassionate space. You will find a supportive community where feelings can be shared for encouragement, hope, and ideas for coping with cancer.
Support groups are open to patients and caregivers, with the goal of having independent groups for each at a later date.
