Single cancer survivors face different issues and needs than cancer survivors with spouses and families nearby. That’s why Nancy Rounsefell thought it important to start a singles support and networking group that has two goals, “we’re hoping to get people involved to help each other as well as participate in social activities.”
Starting in March 2011, the group meets the first Wednesday of every month at noon at Cancer Services. Rounsefell spearheaded the founding of the group citing the unique needs that a single person living with cancer faces. The group is designed to offer that special kind of support by helping with errands, feeding pets while owners are in treatment, sharing resources, giving rides to appointments and/or just being there when they need someone to talk to.
