At the Montana Cancer Center they believe hav-
ing the support of others is an important part of the
healing process. Most patients turn to family first
and soon find the value in participating in groups of
people going through similar situations. The cen-
ter staff's goal is to give a sense of well being. They
accomplish this by offering meetings and activities
that are free and open to those in all phases of the
process. They have a general cancer support group
and a breast cancer support group. There is a friend
and family support group for caregivers to learn skills
to help loved ones throughout cancer, to discuss the
challenges and learn to continue to care for them-
selves as well. On their Web site you will find meet-
ing times and more resources with useful information
on the cancer process, such as tips, inspiration, life
after treatment, survivor stories, and journaling.
