#抗击癌症#癌症支持团体。
与癌症作斗争的人们面临着身心挑战 - 更别提对医疗保健费用、离开工作的时间及其他实际问题感到焦虑。除了有医护人员团队外，美国的癌症患者通常有机会获得社会工作者、支援团体和病人对病人网络的帮助。例如，美国癌症协会建立了癌症幸存者网络来为癌症幸存者、家人及朋友提供帮助。“苏珊·G·科门治愈”是一个非营利组织，也是世界上最大的乳腺癌幸存者及活动人士网络。这些及其他癌症支持组织帮助筹集钱款及提高公众意识，并为癌症患者提供温馨的人际关系及一个论坛，来分享治疗方面的信息，讨论抗击癌症带来的情绪问题，研究显示加入这样的群体收效显著。详情请见问（英文）：www.cancer.org 您了解哪些癌症支持小组？
#JointheFightAgainstCancer – Cancer Support Groups
People fighting cancer face physical and mental challenges – not to mention worries about health care costs, time away from work, and other practical issues. In addition to a health care team of doctors and nurses, cancer patients in the United States often have access to social workers, support groups and patient-to-patient networks to help them. For example, the American Cancer Society developed the Cancer Survivor Network to help cancer survivors, families and friends. The Susan G. Komen for the Cure is a non-profit organization that is the largest network of breast cancer survivors and activists in the world. These and other cancer support organizations help raise money and awareness as well as provide cancer patients with interpersonal comfort and a forum to share information on treatments and talk about the emotional issues of fighting cancer disease. Studies show significant benefits associated with group membership. To learn more visit (eng): www.cancer.org What cancer support groups do you know about?
