Being diagnosed with cancer can be bewildering, sobering and scary. How do you move forward? Please Feel Welcome to attend our Cancer Hope and Support Group. Your family, caregivers, friends, no matter what type or stage cancer you were diagnosed with, are welcome. Attendance/Membership is FREE, no charge to anyone. Tax deductible donations are accepted.
The goal of this group is to guide cancer patients through the cancer journey from a position of empowerment, strength, humor and hope and to counteract fear, isolation and helplessness. We share experiences living with cancer and its impact upon family and friends.
The Cancer Hope and Support Group has been meeting for over 20 years. We experience a comfortable space to express feelings, from doubt to determination. You will learn how to navigate the health care system, form an effective partnership with your health care team, problem - solve common issues regarding diagnosis, treatment and side effects. You will experience an improved quality of life, with less fear and anxiety and pain.
We are a private Non-Profit organization, not connected to a particular hospital or insurance group. Financially, the group is supported by the generosity of its participants and donations from external entities, supplement program, endowments and fund raisers.

MODERATOR: We are honored to be mentored by retired physician Dr. Jonathon Hake. Since receiving his medical degree in 1972, he wasresidency-trained and board-certified in family medicine and in preventive/occupational medicine. He taught and practiced 17 years on the faculties of Duke University, University of Arizona and University of Oklahoma. In 1988, he developed a degenerative spine condition. Four surgeries failed to relieve his chronic pain and led to a long period of disability, which he describes as his "residency training" in being a patient. Since 1996, he has facilitated cancer support groups, sharing his experiences with his own chronic condition in order to help patients find hope and healing in their journey with cancer. He retired in 2019 but continues to facilitate this group.
