Sassy - I haven't started one, but did take an existing one over. It's been going on 10 years, all types of cancer, all ages, women only. But a lot of BC and women in 30s 40s and 50s primarily. It is also christian based, we pray and review scripture (very briefly) at the beginning of every meeting. We meet once a month, no pressure, people who show up show up. Some months there are 6 and some there are 20+.
We are not professional facilitators. The only thing in common we have is cancer. Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry. We just discuss whatever is on our minds and hearts that night. We just go around and the conversation flows. Sometimes we meet for 2 hours, sometimes 4, depends on how the group goes and what everyone needs that night.
I can forward you our group information and guiding principals if you're interested.
