Should you join an illness support network?

An illness support network can help you deal with living with lung cancer. Through such a network, you can meet others who are in the same position. You can speak with them about similar problems and gain insights on how to live life better with this illness. But first, consider whether it would be right for you to join a support group. Ask yourself:

Do I enjoy being part of a group?
Am I comfortable sharing my feelings with others who are in a similar situation?
Do I have helpful information to share with others?
Could I benefit from the advice of others who have gone through cancer treatment?
