There are a number of cancer support groups in the Bay Area. Here is a partial list:

PAMF Cancer Support Group: A therapist-led group that includes both individuals dealing with a cancer diagnosis as well as family members and friends. Not all family members are accompanied by the person with the cancer diagnosis. It is a safe place where thoughts, feelings and concerns about cancer are discussed.

Community Cancer Support Groups: The Palo Alto Medical Foundation maintains a small database of national and community cancer support groups working in our area.

Healing Imagery for Cancer Patients Support Group: Whether you are newly diagnosed with cancer, in the midst of medical treatment, or dealing with recurrent or metastatic cancer, you are invited to join Medical Hypnotherapist Jeanne Fournier, to experience healing meditations and deep relaxation exercises.

Strength for Caring - A Free Program for Caregivers of People with Cancer: This workshop is designed to provide valuable information and tools that may help reduce the often overwhelming job of caring for a loved one with cancer.
