I belong to the Cancer Companions support group. It took some convincing to be a part of this fellowship, but I have no regrets joining almost 2 years ago.
It’s a Bible study with a little counseling mixed in. Somehow the author of the literature brings Scripture and cancer together in a way that makes sense to me. She references well known Bible stories and applies their meaning to issues that come up when coping with cancer and its treatment.
My husband and my mother have been a great help to me going through this unwelcome journey but it’s nice to be part of this Christian support group for added encouragement. There’s no judgment just sympathetic listening. There really isn’t a lot of advice either. The Scripture speaks for itself.
