Michele, I agree with you that 'after care' is critical. I just posted an article on EmpowHer.com called Cancer Support Groups: The Good,The Bad, and The Beautiful. It's based on my vast experience with support groups and how they can help. As for medical centers offering after care, I participate in programs at Virginia Piper Cancer Center in Scottsdale/Phoenix. They offer survivors a wide variety of cancer support survices for FREE. Many cancer centers across the country do this, as well as community groups like The Wellness Community (which has a lymphoma support group in Phoenix). These wonderful organizations exist in most major cities, so it would be great to hear from some on this site. Thanks for raising this important question. Annette Mattern, HerWriter at EmpowHer.
