Group or Individual Support at Home
Does anyone know of any programs that offer a drop-in support group or someone who will visit a patient in their home? My mom doesn't usually have the energy to get out of the house on a regular basis but could benefit from talking to others living with cancer or a therapist--any suggestions?
