Support Groups

Our support groups provide individuals an opportunity to discuss their feelings, fears and frustrations, as well as their successes – with others who truly understand what they are experiencing.
CANs’ support groups are open to anyone whose life has been touched by cancer, including patients currently receiving treatment, survivors, caregivers, and family members.
  • Non cancer specific meetings are free and held once per month.
  • Non cancer specific meetings are currently being held virtually via Zoom.
  • Breast cancer and Cancer Support Group for Men (both care takers and patients) support groups are being held in person and via Zoom.
