Well said Annette, well said. There are many avenues available for cancer patients, ranging from virtual support through online groups to face-to-face peer support. What is especially nice today is that you can find very specific support groups, for example there are many cancer groups now for teens and young adults. I'd just advise people to treat online groups as they would a real life group and to try a group out first to see if it's the right one. Having cancer is so very personal and having the right people with you on your journey - whether virtual people or real life ones - can add many positive elements to one's journey. Take care, Pat
