The Group intends to meet on the fourth Saturday of each month and the next meeting will be held on 24 May at 9am at Netcare Waterfall Hospital.
Since October 2009, CanSurvive Support Groups have provided a caring and confidential environment in which patients can share their experiences and concerns and obtain support and useful information from others who have been through similar experiences. Support is provided for all types of cancer at various levels and patients, caregivers and friends are welcome to attend the meetings, no matter where they were treated or what cancer they have or have had. Experienced Cancer Buddies will also be in attendance to assist attendees.
A CanSurvive Cancer Support Group also meets at Hazeldene Hall in Parktown on the second Saturday of each month and there is a special Head and Neck Support Group which meets on the first Thursday of each month.
