Description

CancerCare is offering a free, 12-week live support group for older adults (65+) diagnosed with cancer in New York and New Jersey who are receiving a form of active treatment. Treatment may consist of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, hormonal treatments and/or advanced cancer treatment. This group will provide a safe place to exchange support and receive information and guidance while discussing the unique challenges of living with a cancer diagnosis.
