We are group of people that gives support for those coping with chronic pain, physical disability and illness. We support each other through sharing experiences, feelings and knowledge. I'm sorry, but we are not a cancer support group specifically.

One note about our Message Board and this support group in general, no one on this site whether it is online or in a face-to-face meeting has the authority to give out medical advice. Decisions about medical treatments should be made by one's doctor. The purpose of people sharing information and experiences about medical treatments whether mainstream or alternative on the Message Board or in face-to-face meetings is to give people other options that they can discuss with their doctor. Also, if you want to give suggestions or share experiences about your own illness or medical treatments please remember that we do all have different types of illnesses, different symptoms, and medications affect everyone differently.

Also, everyone has a different comfort level with how much information they want to disclose on an Internet site. Please only share what you want to share. You don't have to share anything at all on the Message Board, it is just a resource that some people might want to use.

      “Hi Sarah, I left a phone message for you a couple of days ago. I won't be able to make the 11/18/09 group after and can't figure out how to update/cancel my being there via this site. I had another epidural-nerve root block on Friday and have to go back to the Dr. on the day of the 11/18 group so I won't make it. I wanted to make sure that someone else would have my spot. I apologize for the inconvenience of not figuring this out on my own. I'll check with out when I see you at the next group.”
