Cancer Support group meets Feb. 6

The next meeting of the “Living with Cancer” Support Group will be held on Thursday, February 6 from 7:00 to 8:15 pm. The meeting will take place in the first floor administrative board room at Wayne Health Care. (From the main entrance, turn right and go down the hallway past the lab and turn left at the end of the hall. You will see the board room on the left.)

February’s meeting will hold an open forum and those planning to attend are being asked to bring one thing to share with the rest of the group. (Either copies for the group, or an idea that you want to share.

Perhaps there is information that you have found to be helpful, or a concern that you want to ask the group about, or something that you experienced and how you dealt with it, etc.) Also, please be thinking about what particular cancer you might want to learn more about for future meetings.

The local Cancer Association of Darke County sponsors the Living with Cancer group in cooperation with Wayne Hospital. The Support Group is open to anyone with a cancer diagnosis, also family and friends of an individual with cancer are encouraged to attend. Facilitating the support group meeting will be Christine Lynn from the Cancer Association and Jill Brown from Wayne Health Care.
