cancer active support group
1st Thursday of Each Month
12PM EST | 11AM CST | 10AM MST | 9AM PST | 5PM GMT
Designed to help patients and caregivers #keepmovingforward.
In the face of life’s most challenging times, we believe that together, we can keep moving forward.
The wisdom and experiences of our peers who have confronted cancer head-on offer invaluable insights, guidance, and comfort. Throwing Bones understands the profound value of these connections and the relief that comes from supporting one another.
Connection is a fundamental part of the human experience, and it becomes even more critical when facing a devastating challenge like cancer. The Cancer Active Support Group by Throwing Bones is here to provide you with the support, knowledge, and strength you need to face cancer head-on and continue moving forward, living a life full of hope, purpose, and vitality.
Join our community today and let’s walk this path together, supporting one another every step of the way. You are not alone.
