POLSON — A cancer support group for anyone affected by cancer meets twice monthly at St. Joseph Medical Center from noon to 1 p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month.
Gatherings are informal allowing folks to drop-in when schedules and life permits. Brown- bag lunches are welcome. The group will meet in the Leahy Conference Room on the third floor of the medical center. For more information call 406-261-3304.
The group welcomes those recently diagnosed, those undergoing treatment, cancer survivors, and/or family members. The group aims is to provide a safe place for members to share, learn, support, and encourage members after a cancer diagnosis; and, to conquer the fear in themselves and others. Confidentiality is practiced, anything spoken in group stays with the group.
Cheerful Heart, an organization of volunteers that has provided non-medical services to cancer patients in Lake County since 2002, sponsors the support group. Cheerful Heart does not charge for the services that it provides. Contact Cheerful Heart at 406-883-3070 or email cheerfulheart46@gmail.com.
