Gettysburg Cancer Center realizes the emotional stress that cancer causes and the affects it has on the outcome of a patient's therapy. For that reason, Gettysburg Cancer Center serves as a resource to help find additional family support and specialized services available in our communities.

Support groups allow you to share your experiences with others and learn what they do to successfully overcome their cancer.

We can refer you to community agencies that provide services such as home health care, financial, social and psychological services.

Of course, there are times when all you need is someone to talk with. We are devoted to being good listeners and you are always treated with the individual respect and dignity you deserve.

People diagnosed with cancer and their families face many challenges that may leave them feeling overwhelmed, afraid, and alone. It can be difficult to cope with these challenges or to talk to even the most supportive family members and friends. Often, support groups can help people affected by cancer feel less alone and can improve their ability to deal with the uncertainties and challenges that cancer brings. Support groups give people who are affected by similar diseases an opportunity to meet and discuss ways to cope with the illness.
