Cancer Support group to meet Sept. 9

The American Cancer Society and Mineral Area Regional Medical  Center will host a cancer support group from 1-3 p.m. Sept. 9  in the community room in the basement at MARMC. The group is designed to help cancer patients, survivors, and loved ones cope with cancer. The group is held in a supportive setting where patients and caregivers can interact with others going through a similar experience, and with people who have gone through it before. No registration is necessary and attending the group is free.

More than one out of three women and nearly half of all men will be affected by cancer in their lifetime.  The American Cancer Society is a trusted resource for information and services for cancer patients and their loved ones.  Support groups are a great way to meet others who are going through the same experiences and to learn from those who have already beaten cancer.

For more information about the support group or programs and services the American Cancer Society provides, please call Lynn Stephan at (800) 489-9730.

The American Cancer Society is the nationwide, community-based, voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives and diminishing suffering from cancer through research, education, advocacy, and service.
