You are not alone in your battle. Moffitt's Psychosocial & Palliative Care Program offers several cancer support groups led by professionally trained staff to bring patients and their caregivers, friends and family together to help them through the cancer journey.
These groups provide a safe and confidential environment for participants to learn methods of coping, obtain information about cancer and its treatment, gain problem-solving skills and ease feelings of isolation.
For information on Moffitt's support groups, call 813-745-8407 (Toll Free: 1-800-456-3434, ext. 8407).
