Having the opportunity to meet with someone who is experiencing or has survived the cancer that you’re going through is an invaluable help for many cancer patients. Many people have found that they have benefited from sharing experiences and getting to know others in a similar situation.
We provide more than 24 cancer-specific support groups across Northern Ireland. The support groups meet on a regular basis and provide patients, relatives and friends with practical information, advice and support from the moment of diagnosis, right through the cancer journey, and for as long as they wish to attend.
The support groups are very informal and we encourage anyone attending to feel free to bring along a friend, partner or spouse. There is no pressure to speak about your experiences, you can just come along for a cup of coffee.
