Being diagnosed with cancer is a life-changing event. Going through the cancer journey is never easy. From the moment you learn that you are diagnosed with cancer, having to go through treatment or even in instances when you realise that your cancer has returned, all these can leave you feeling shocked, upset, angry, alone, and a myriad of other emotions. All these feelings can be difficult to deal with especially if you have many questions which you want answers to.
Here at the NCIS, we have a number of patient support groups you can join. These support group platforms provide a place for people to share common concerns and emotional support. It also gives you an opportunity to connect and interact with other cancer survivors or patients who share similar experiences. Our support groups are facilitated by oncology specialists and patients are encouraged to share their experiences through regular activities and meetings.
