Looking for Maryland survivors to start support group.

Looking for Maryland survivors to start support group. Specifically, Montgomery County.

I am appauled and disgusted that LC gets no special ribbon, funding, celebrity reps or support groups. How can this be? If LC is the leading cancer, surpassing breast and colon combined?

A girlfriend took me to her breast support group today to hear a speaker.

This groups knows there are no LC groups in my area so they said I could join anyway. Nice gesture, but my God, how can it be that there isnt any groups in this area?

If interested Email directly to:

MClungcancer@aol.com

Thanks,

Jen

Jen,

let me know if there is anything we can help with. we can provide information that may help you get started, as well as some educational materials that you can have reprinted for your group.

Lung Cancer's ribbon is clear (becuase lc is the "invisible" disease)

Good luck and you're right...there needs to be MORE.

I mentioned to "JustAKid" recently that The Wellness Community is a great resource for support of you have one near you. Here is a link to their locations. They do have one in Delmarva (?) but I don't know how close that is to you. According to their map, they also have one in development in Maryland, but I can't tell exactly where that is located. Might be worth a phone call. I attend their Philadelphia location Lung Cancer support group once a month and find it to be a wonderful place.

I also see on their website that you can contact them about starting a facility in your area.

I applaud your desire to form a support group and wish you much success -- we certainly have the need for it!
