Links to internet resources for Patients, Families, and friends. The group has helped patients, friends, and families deal with the emotional impact of cancer since 1974. There has never been a charge for attending meetings or for our quarterly printed newsletter. Make Today Count offers information, support through Group Meetings, a telephone network, a Newsletter plus an internet Web Site. People attend MTC meetings because they have common concerns and feelings.
Participants often comment on the importance of sharing experiences with others who have been there.
Those who attend are assured that they can share their feelings openly with the knowledge that their words will be received with compassion and understanding and kept in confidence. Today Count is not a religious organization, and does not offer medical advice, but members of the group frequently talk about their faith and medical experiences. Talking honestly about illness leads to understanding. Silence results in the isolation of the patient from friends and family. T o help the patient and family cope with a life-threatening illness by sharing feelings and concerns.
