I am very new to this website. I was diagnosed in 2004. I am used to being a loner but now feel the need to converse with others who understand Cancer. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could include myself in conferences, etc, support groups for survivors. I live in a very small town so there are no support groups in the area. The closest one is 2.5 hours away. If you can provide any suggestions, I would be very grateful.

Support for young adults is lacking in our area as well...I have pushed our local Gilda's club to start a support group for young adults. Perhaps a Gilda's club is in your area and even if they don't have a young adult group perhaps there is a group you can join and feel comfortable with. The website to the Gildas Club is www.gildasclub.org, they are worldwide. I am told that the support services are just not in place for young adults with cancer, as it is the fastest growing age group developing cancer.
