- Who Needs Cancer Support Programs or Group Therapy?
-
Anyone who has been touched by a cancer diagnosis can benefit greatly from connecting with others on a similar journey.
Whether you’ve personally been diagnosed or have a spouse, partner, parent or child facing cancer treatments, support groups and therapy can help you share your experience and discover constructive, effective strategies to deal with the many emotions that come with facing cancer.
There are also many programs in the Kansas City community that help ease the financial burden of cancer treatment, whether it’s help covering the cost of medication or minimizing the impact of lost wages.
Your care navigator team here also includes several financial navigators, too, who can address your financial concerns and help handle the details so you can focus on overcoming cancer.
- How Can I Get Started?
-
The first step is realizing that you can’t do this alone. Reaching out for help allows you to focus on what matters most: rest, recovery and healing.
Your care navigators can connect you with resources to address your specific concerns or needs. Please don’t hesitate to share your worries with us. We understand the path you’re on isn’t always easy and are here to help however we can.
