Lungcancer.org is a program of CancerCare, a national nonprofit organization that provides free, professional support services to anyone affected by cancer: people with cancer, caregivers, children, loved ones, and the bereaved.

Support Groups

CancerCare offers online, telephone and face-to-face support groups that connect you with other people who are in a similar situation. All support groups are free and led by professional oncology social workers who are experienced with cancer-related issues and concerns.

• Online support groups can be accessed whenever you need them, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Each group is facilitated by an oncology social worker and password protected. We offer groups for patients, caregivers, loved ones, teens, young adults, parents, and the bereaved. Find out what online groups we currently offer and how to register.
• Telephone support groups bring together people from around the country on a weekly one-hour phone call, facilitated by an oncology social worker. Whether you are a person with cancer or caregiver, you can meet others in a similar situation, helping you feel like a part of a larger community of support.
• Face-to-face groups are offered at a set time weekly at one of our offices or collaborating facilities in the New York Tri-State area. We offer groups for people with cancer, their loved ones and the bereaved. We can also help you find face-to-face support groups in your community, no matter where you live.
