Support Group

General Cancer Group

Survivors, caregivers, family and friends. We invite everyone to join us at a support group meeting.   Come get to know Thrive to Survive, share experiences, laugh, and learn.

The Thrive to Survive General Cancer Support Group meets the first Saturday of every month. Our meetings are open and free to adults living with cancer, their caregivers, family and friends.

The group is a peer to peer group, led by our experienced support group facilitator, Karen Cardillo. During meetings Karen promotes group discussion and participation in activities. Group members provide valuable feedback on what future activities and speakers they feel would be helpful. Every month something new and exciting is scheduled. Anyone interested in learning more about the group is welcome to attend from 10am - 12pm at the Geneva Public Library Reading Room. Please contact support@thrivetosurvive.org with any additional questions.
