Editing Cancer support group (section)

'''Cancer support groups''' are meetings that offer a safe space for people affected by [[cancer]] to share their experiences and emotions with other people who have cancer.  People in stressful situations benefit from having a good [[social support]] system, and a cancer support group can be part of a support system.

Cancer support groups are similar to other kinds of other types of [[support group]]s.  Different support systems have thus been developed including community support groups, online cancer support groups, networks, forums, and [[charitable organizations]].  Some groups focus on specific types of cancer and others include anyone.  There are also support groups for family members and survivors.<ref>{{Cite book|last=|first=|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6BpmDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT49|title=Life after Cancer Treatment: Facing Forward: Facing Forward|date=2018-07-18|publisher=[[U.S. National Cancer Institute]]|isbn=978-0-16-094756-8|language=en}}</ref>
