Hi Eva.  Glad you had a good experience with the support group.  I've been to a
couple of different support groups at various times in the last 5 years since
diagnosis, but did not feel they were too helpful.  It was not because of the
people there or the subject matter; I simply could not be consistent in
attendance due to treatment schedules and would miss a lot of things in those
2-3 week periods when I would have to miss a meeting.

I find online groups to be a lot more appropriate for my own needs.  But the
bottom line is that we do what is best for our own recovery.  Any type of
support situation is better than none.  A lot of research has shown that those
cancer patients who are parrt of a support group of some kind generally are
more tolerant of treatments and are more emotionally settled about their life
situation.  I'm glad we all have each other no matter where we are, aren't you?
