local support group suggestions
Dear Chelee,
Hopefull;y by now you have some answers and have found a support group near you. Where in Southern Calif. are you? Besides contacting the Susan Komen group at UCLA - they are supported by the Revlon family trust. UCLA has a social worker to help with these things. Cedars Sinai has some groups as does City of Hope, St. John's in Santa Monica, basically I think even your HMO should have something or be able to suggest places also the American Cancer Society and People With Cancer I'm sure have groups all over. There's a group called SHARE that's based in Santa Monica but has groups all over. You really do need a support group or person. This site is wonderful but you also need someone you can call up and who understands what it's like and what's going on.
Good luck with finding a group/person that makes you feel more secure and with your heath. It's great for all of us that this fantastic site exists.
