Support Group
There are no support groups in my area. With COVID I figured many have moved to zoom meetings And therefore can be attended from anywhere in the world. I’d love to join a group for those that are cancer survivors. I’m only 1 year NED but feel this has been one of the hardest parts of cancer.Any recommendations with days/times/links? Thank you!
Re: Support Group
At the top of the forum topics there are several that are pined to the top. One is titled:
SUPPORT GROUPS - Local Nationwide Please List Yours!
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=31958
You might want to take a look at that and see if there are groups or links to online groups you can perhaps contact to see if they are doing ZOOM meetngs! I know several such support groups do such things. Its worth a try and see.
Good luck

Might be useful to know the time zone? There are 24 Noons around the world
Can't tell which time zone you or Lmanners31 are in or if in the same. This is a good start. Good luck!

Good point. The noon support group mentioned above is in Georgia (Eastern Standard Time).
Here's another possibility. It's in California (Pacific Standard Time):

Also, for those who might be interested in Zoom groups for Grief Therapy, there are several possibilities:
