Along with advanced medical care, emotional support is an important part of the cancer treatment process. With that in mind, we offer a variety of support groups for cancer survivors and their families. These casual get-togethers are a great way to learn about cancer while sharing your thoughts and feelings with those who are fighting the disease as well. For more information, Contact Frieda Brooks at (559) 451-3618.
