Any woman diagnosed with breast cancer is invited to join this open-ended support group.
Women can participate at any time during or after treatment for support, information and sharing.
The group meets on the first and third Tuesday of the month and is open to women with any cancer diagnosis. This group is facilitated by two social workers. The Children's Program at Fox Chase Cancer Center offers school-aged children who have a parent with cancer the opportunity to meet with other children.
