All groups offer a forum for sharing information and proactive, holistic support in diagnosis, treatment and management of cancer. We recognize that individuals cope with cancer differently and discuss the emotional and practical aspects of “living with cancer” at all stages of the disease. (There is no charge for participating in a Providence support group.)
If you are interested in Cancer Counseling services (offered at no charge to Providence Health & Services patients), call Providence St. Vincent Medical Center, 503-216-2917, or Providence Portland Medical Center, 503-215-6015.
