Some of the groups offered here are
Women Facing Breast Cancer, Men's
Healthy Lifestyle Group, a summer
retreat for teens, and a Caregiv-
ers Support Group. They also offer
Mindfulness Meditation, learning
how meditation can help control
pain and relieve stress. They have
the Look Good Feel Better program
and the Reach Out Wellness Center
where patients can learn to live well
mind, body, and spirit. Many of
their meetings are offered through
video conferencing to towns in north
central Montana. In this way sup-
port groups can reach those fighting
cancer even if they don't live near
the facility.

Here are two groups for women
fighting cancer. The Women's Cancer
Support Group is a place for women
to come together for support and
to share ideas on how to cope. The
other group is the Flathead Valley
Young(er) Women Surviving Breast
Cancer Group. This one focuses on
women who have been diagnosed at
a younger age. They discuss differ-
ent issues such as fertility, taking care
of young children during treatment,
and relationships
There is also the F.A.I.T.H Cancer
Support Group. This is a biblically
based support group offering an
environment of hope. Their goal is
to help people adjust to this new way
of life with a positive look towards
the future.
Nothing can take away the over-
whelming feeling that comes with a
cancer diagnosis. Becoming a part of
a support group or getting involved in
activities through these organizations
can be a critical part of the healing
process. They provide a sanctuary
with others in the same situation, a
place to voice fears without concern,
where you learn to cope, thrive, and
beat cancer.
