If I'm a caregiver to a cancer patient, should I join a cancer support group?

A cancer support group would be a group of people that are going through some sort of treatment for cancer. I would caution you to get in a group where people have a similar diagnosis and similar treatment plan, because then you're talking about the same thing. I think it can be really helpful. I've seen so many people pair up and go through the cancer together. And actually it turns out being a buddy system. They have fun, they compare their scars and compare their reactions, and I think a cancer support group is really a healthy thing.
