Downpatrick Breast Cancer Support Group

Need help with your cancer journey?

When someone is diagnosed with cancer, they may experience feelings of shock, anger, or confusion. Even the most supportive family members, friends, or employers cannot understand exactly how it feels to go through a cancer journey.

 

A cancer support group is one way for individuals to interact with other people in similar circumstances.
