CANCER SUPPORT GROUPS
Intro page for patients and their families

If you have been diagnosed with a serious disease like cancer, you will no doubt have questions about your diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. There are many cancer support groups committed to helping patients and families during such a difficult period. They can provide an intro to other organizations, as well.

In the menu section above, we provide links to a number of support groups. This information is provided as a courtesy only, and should not be taken as an endorsement of any particular group.

The fellowship and support from those you meet in a support group are an important part of helping you and your family deal with this difficult diagnosis. You also need a highly qualified and experienced team of environmental lawyers. At Weitz & Luxenberg, we can help you file a lawsuit to cover your medical bills, pain and suffering and other expenses.

We'll worry about the legal deadlines. One simple form will start the process. Learn more about the legal resources available to you by filling out the form below.
