    Recently my dad was diagnosed with cancer, and I've chosen to take on being his primary caregiver. This is a emotional and stressful experience.

Do you know of any support groups online for my situation?

    My daughter is 21 years old and just had her third surgery for cancer in 11 years. The doctors took a wait and see approach the last two times, but they are currently doing a molecular study to determine treatment. I don't know how to be there for my daughter and keep encouraging her. She is lacking in social skills after all these years and she refuses to do therapy. How do I encourage her to maybe get involved through a website or a support group? She needs more than just her mom.
