Hi @SonyaKBlackburn Welcome to the community.
Could you perhaps speak to a doctor about your situation to see if they know of any local groups that could help?
Just to let you know, I've moved your post into our CP category and renamed it slightly so that other members will be able to find it more easily. -
Hi @SonyaKBlackburn
Great to meet you and you ask a very good question. There certainly wasn't any support groups when I had cancer. I was pretty much left to get on with it despite the added challenges of CP. Have you contacted and cancer support groups in Oklahoma?
I wrote this about my experiences.
