Today I am grateful for support groups ...I am lucky enough to live near a Maggie's centre and would highly recommend them. They are usually attached to a Cancer Specialist Hospital and they are a mine of information. They also run relaxation classes and support groups, have counsellors and psychologists on hand, coffee, tea and often cake!
I never thought I would be the type who would appreciate support groups but they are great. You meet a complete mix of people, with different diagnoses and life experiences. I went today and we talked about dealing with the fear and anxiety of a reoccurrence. It was just good to realise that we all felt the same way! It is good to feel normal when so often you feel you have morphed into the alien in the room (although I completely appreciate much of that is my own paranoia!).
