University of Iowa Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center Cancer Support Groups Cancer not only affects the physical body but may also affect other asp ects of life including work, leisure and family life.
Cancer can impact our personal thoughts and feelings as well.
Support groups and counseling are available and may help you manage the stresses in your life while you are dealing with cancer and cancer treatment. We have several active support groups. Some have a certain focus while others are open to anyone who wants to participate including individuals with cancer, family and friends. The 3 Boyd Tower group focuses on the needs and concerns of people living with cancer and cancer treatments. People undergoing radiation therapy and other cancer treatments are invited for a weekly gathering for support and sharing.
