New Nashua Lung Cancer Support Group to begin at the Y

First meeting set for Tuesday, January 17, 6:30-8:30pm, at the Nashua YMCA

Have you been looking for a support group strictly dedicated to lung cancer survivors and caregivers? Starting January 17, the YMCA of Greater Nashua will be hosting a newly formed SUPPORT GROUP specifically for lung cancer survivors and caregivers on the third Tuesday of every month from 6:30 to 8:30pm. Come join us!

Monthly meetings will be held at the Nashua YMCA, every 3rd Tuesday of the month. The Y is located at 24 Stadium Avenue in Nashua.

According to YMCA member Eric Bergeson who facilitated the launch of the group, “This support group is intended to provide a safe space for lung cancer survivors to come together for community, sharing and learning from each other. As lung cancer survivors, we are in this together, each having been diagnosed with lung cancer at some time in the past. It may have been recently and you are in need of knowing others with the same disease, and it may have been some time ago and you continue to have a need to talk about your experience with others who will understand you anxiety, aches, pains, treatments, prognosis, etc.”
This group is open to lung cancer survivors, their caregivers and close friends. All attendees are encouraged to speak and share feelings, experiences, treatments, and other relevant issues.
