POLSON — A support group for anyone affected by cancer meets regularly from noon- 1 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church. The group gathers on the second and fourth Mondays of each month at the church located at 301 Sixteenth Ave. E.
Cheerful Heart, an organization of volunteers who provide non-medical services for cancer patients in Lake County since 2002, sponsors the support group.
The group welcomes those recently diagnosed, those undergoing treatment, cancer survivors, and/or family members. Folks can bring a brown bag lunch or join others for lunch at a local eatery at 1 p.m. The aim of the group is to provide a warm and safe place for people to share questions, treatment plans, research, frustration, thoughts and/or experiences. Confidentiality is practiced within the group, and anything spoken in the group stays with the group. Gatherings are informal allowing folks to drop in when schedules and life permits.
Leaders are Linda Roberts, 406-883-2337, and Sheila Conner, 406-676-0146. For more information about Cheerful Heart, Inc., checkout their website: www.cheerfulheart. org or call for information at: 406-883-3070.
