Studies have shown that cancer patients who attend cancer support groups survive longer than just receiving medical treatment alone. While medical attention is often considered necessary, the addition of emotional support helps you cope and gives you a safe place to share your innermost feelings. With a safe haven to share what you’re going through, your emotional self can heal along with your physical self.
