Guide to self-help groups

The diagnosis of "cancer" often hits those affected and their relatives quite suddenly and they initially feel powerless and helpless. Many questions arise and you would like to talk to other sufferers.
Have the courage to face up to the disease and take advantage of the support offered by self-help groups. After all, socialising with other sufferers is a useful and necessary addition that can make it easier to deal with the disease.
There are also a large number of self-help groups in your area. Here we introduce you to the various offers. We cordially invite you to take part in the events organised by the various self-help groups in the region. The events are open to everyone, both those affected and their relatives, regardless of the clinic providing treatment. Registration is not necessary.
In regular meetings with representatives of the self-help groups, we at the CCCU, in co-operation with the press, try to strengthen and publicise the work of the self-help groups.
