People who find out they have cancer find themselves having a wide range of emotions including shock, anger, denial and fear. It is a very stressful experience for anyone. A lot of people prefer to hold their emotions inside rather than talk about their feelings but some really do need to share how they are feeling with others.

It can be very important for someone with cancer to talk about their feelings and their experiences with people going through the same thing as them. Attending a cancer support group lets you share your experience with people who understand where you are coming from. You will feel less isolated and be able to accept and deal with your disease if you get your feelings out in the open. You can learn about how other people are facing their disease and share your treatment methods with them.

Cancer support groups exist for the different kinds of cancer and there are also groups that help people who have family members with cancer deal with their feelings and their fears. If you prefer, you can join a virtual cancer support group over the Internet. A lot of people prefer the anonymity of this as opposed to meeting with strangers in person and talking about their experiences with cancer. The online cancer support groups are more flexible with regards to time.

It can feel really good to talk to other people experiencing the same thing as you and share your feelings honestly and openly. Your friends and family are probably more than happy to listen to your fears and concerns about your cancer but sometimes a cancer support group is better because they can relate to your experiences and provide support that your friends and family can't.

This is just like someone who is experiencing emotional issues choosing to talk to a qualified psychologist who has no preconceptions about you about their problems as opposed to just calling a friend or family member to talk about their feelings and their issues.

Cancer support groups provide an opportunity for cancer patients to be open and honest and to get support from people experiencing the same thing as them. You can cry, be angry or give advice to others at the cancer support group meetings depending on how you are feeling and no one will judge you.

It is very helpful for people with a variety of problems to attend support group meetings so they can talk about their experiences in a comfortable and safe environment. Cancer support groups give cancer patients a place to let it all out and to get support and help from people who have been or are in the same situation as them.
