“You need to get your village together. I had a few friends checking in on me every day and who drove to see me. You need that support.”

“I am so grateful for the experience I had with CancerCare and their support groups and I really am not sure if I would feel as strong as I feel today without that experience.”

“My counselor from CancerCare helped me to hear my voice.”

“I really needed someone to talk to who had the expertise in this area of helping others with cancer. I knew I couldn’t do it alone.”

“When I arrived here, in the first group, I saw other peers as well, we each shared our diagnosis, how we felt. We were very supportive of each other.”
