Colorectal Support Group

Everyone currently undergoing treatment and those who have been treated for colorectal cancer are welcome!

Being diagnosed with colorectal cancer confronts both patient and caregiver with multiple challenges in how to deal with this disease.

The monthly meeting:

  • Assists in dealing with the emotional aspects of having a diagnosis of cancer.
