Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndrome Family Support Group
(Vancouver, BC)
|
This group is currently recruiting. It will be open to people diagnosed with leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndromes, as well as their families and friends. The aim is to provide an opportunity for people affected by leukemia and/or MDS to get together and share their experiences and wisdom, and learn about these diseases through educational seminars. This mutual support group is not group therapy, however health care professionals working in cancer care facilitate it. The main goals of the group are to provide social, emotional and informational support to people living with leukemia and MDS.
For more information or to register, please contact: Sharon Paulse, the Patient Services Manager at: 604.733.2873 ext 30 or sharon.paulse@lls.org.
