Providing you, your family and friends with emotional support is one of the overriding missions of the Gillette Women's Cancer Connection program. That's why the Gillette Women's Cancer Connection has developed a comprehensive listing of women's cancer support groups throughout the United States and Canada.
If you or your family is a member of a support group that is not listed and you would like to recommend an addition to our database, please click here to submit a support group to the database.
* Indicates breast cancer support group organizations provided by the National Alliance of Breast Cancer Organizations. The Gillette Women's Cancer Connection would like to thank the National Alliance of Breast Cancer Organizations for their support.
- If you do not see a support group in your community, please call your local hospital to see if they offer support group meetings. You can find a listing in your local phone book's Yellow Pages.
