How often should I go to my cancer support group?

I think a lot of it has to do with how much energy you have, and it might just be impossible to visit your cancer support group lots while you're going through treatment. Then it might just be a phone call with someone, or it might be online. Online works fine because you can do it in the middle of the night when you're awake. I think the amount of times you go to your cancer support group is purely up to the individual, but I think very often it's when you're finished with treatment, because while you're in treatment you're actively fighting the cancer. And when you're done with treatment there's some feeling like, OK, now you're just waiting and that's when you might want to be in a cancer support group.
