Review for Cansurvive Gyn Cancer Support Group, Birmingham, AL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in 2011 and attended my first Support Group meeting one month later. I found a welcoming group of smiling faces, happy to get to know me and hear my story, quick to offer a listening ear and a kind word or hug. Its a safe haven where I don't have to explain the medical language, the side effects, the range of emotions; I can just 'be'. We discuss a wide range of topics and I seem to learn something each meeting and walk away feeling stronger. I am encouraged by the women and each of their respective journeys and leave with a rejuvenated sense of motivation to fight this battle.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
