Description

CancerCare is offering a free, 8-week live support group for people diagnosed with breast cancer or gynecological cancers in New York and New Jersey who are receiving a form of active treatment (including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, hormonal treatments and/or advanced cancer treatment).

Our Groups:

• Assist you in learning new ways of coping
• Help you improve communication with your medical team and loved ones
• Provide you with practical information about treatment
• Provide you with resources in your community
