Young Adult Cancer Support Group is under development. Please call or email us if you're interested.
Men's Cancer Support Group is under development.
A person becomes a cancer survivor the moment they are disgnosed because it is at that moment that you move into survival mode.
Are you a male cancer survivor? Do you feel that you could benefit from a men's cancer support group where you could connect once a month with other male cancer survivors? Survivor JourneysTM is looking to potentially establish such a group should there be enough interest.
For those interested, please email survivorshipprogram@gmail.com or call 413-276-6100.
