# Beyond the Diagnosis
Peer Support for Cancer Patients, Caregivers & Loved Ones
A cancer diagnosis changes everything — for the person living it, and for everyone who loves them.
Beyond the Diagnosis is a free, virtual, peer-led open support circle hosted by [MyGriefAngels.org,](http://mygriefangels.org,/) opening in July for adults 18+ navigating the cancer experience in any role: patient at any stage, caregiver, partner, family member, or cherished friend.
Open groups mean that you can come once, or every time - entirely up to you because there is no minimum attendance requirement. Because they are open groups, you will need to register for every meeting you would like to attend.
This is a non-religious, fully LGBTQIA+ welcoming, and radically inclusive space — built on shared humanity, honest conversation, and the quiet power of being truly heard. You don't need to have the right words. You only need to show up.
Community safety policies
Video must remain on for all participants throughout each session — this protects the safety and intimacy of our circle.
No recording of any kind is permitted. What is shared here stays here.
No auditors or silent observers. Every person present is an equal, active participant.
You are not a diagnosis.
You are not alone.
And you never have to pretend to be okay here.
IMPORTANT:
You do not have to confirm attendance here,
but you DO NEED TO REGISTER at the zoom link below for every meeting you are interested in attending:
