People Living Through Cancer

People Living Through Cancer is a non-profit devoted to providing free support services to cancer survivors and their loved ones throughout the state. Support groups, one-to-one peer support, and educational programs are available to those with a cancer diagnosis and their families. If you have just learned about your cancer, you may be feeling too numb to think about what you need to manage the stress and anxiety that naturally comes with diagnosis and treatment. Dealing with the feelings and changes cancer can bring can be lonely even when you are surrounded by loving and supportive people. Talking to someone may be the first step in helping you cope with the uncertainties ahead. The secret is to consider all the options available to you for support. You may not feel like you need help right now and that’s okay. When and if you are ready, talking about your cancer with others who understand can give you the support and confidence you need to regain a sense of control over your situation. Some days, it’s not just about the cancer. Some days, it’s life itself that challenges us and finding the right kind of support at the right time can be critical to your emotional, social and spiritual recovery from cancer.
