Cancer Support Groups

If you have cancer, or if someone close to you has been diagnosed as having cancer, there is a place to go for the extra emotional support you may need. Middlesex Hospital's Cancer Support Groups are for patients and their families and friends who all share in the difficult experience of having cancer.  No registration is required and walk-ins are welcome. 

Please contact Doreen Gagnon, LCSW, Oncology Social Worker, at (860) 358-2053 for additional information on any of these groups.
