Some support groups stress education, while others focus on emotional support and companionship.
The Santa Barbara Unit of the American Cancer Society keeps an updated list of local support groups. Share with and learn from others who are facing the same diagnosis and concerns. This is not a therapy group, but rather a forum for the sharing of common concerns. The goal is to share this everyday struggle with an aim to discovering better means of coping. If you have not been to El Rancho Market , stop in when you are in Santa Ynez.
