Cancer Support Groups
Professional And Caring Cancer Support
Facing a cancer diagnosis is a life-altering experience that impacts every aspect of a person’s life—physically, emotionally and socially. It can come with feelings of uncertainty, isolation, anxiety and depression. At HOAF, our monthly cancer support groups are held at The Lodge in Fredericksburg and are perfect for patients at every stage. They provide a space to share experiences, gain strength and find hope while aiming to empower patients to continue to live a life worth living.

About Our Monthly Cancer Support Groups
Our monthly support groups are currently on hold. Once we have confirmed dates, we will share them with patients, caregivers, and families. We look forward to welcoming everyone back soon and will provide updates as they become available.
Caregiver & Family Support
As a caregiver or family member of a loved one with cancer, taking care of yourself is an important part of the job. Caregiving typically includes both physical and emotional demands, which can be hard on your body and mind and relationships. We also encourage family members and caregivers to attend our cancer support groups, where we are happy to provide you with the resources you need to care with confidence while also nurturing your own emotional needs.
Our support for caregivers focuses on all aspects of caregiving, including financial aspects, juggling taking loved ones to and from appointments, taking care of your own family or kids as well as finding the joy and connection in caregiving.
