A. you could advertise on some free classified ads and such. Personally I haven't looked at your site altho I have seen the link many times on answers.. the reason why is the name. I know I shouldn't judge 'a book by its cover'.. or a site by the name, but for me, cancer and smile just don't fit in the same sentence together.
How would I go about starting a Cancer Survivors Support Group?
Q. I work for a hospital and have been asked by my director to start a Cancer Survivors Support Group. Where do I begin? Any ideas?
A. I would post a flier in the chemotherapy and radiation wards. I would put some information your mission (so write one) and who it is open to. I have seen at our hospital a teenager support group and a support group for older adults and another for cancer survivorship in general.
Each group faces it's own difficulties and challenges. Word gets around, find a place where the meeting can take place and have some refreshments available. Coffee, cookies, ect...
I would advertise for a month from the date that you have your flier made. I seen them in every bathroom in both clinics (radiation and chemotherapy wards). I would put them in all oncologists offices by the receptionist desk. ( Surviving cancer patients go in for check-ups all the time). I would have them in every surgeons office that deals with cancer.
If your hospital has a resource guide I would put them there, any type of cancer coordinator I would give it to them.
I would give it time, and be there for even one person at the advertised time.
My wife is finally going to be going to one.

What are some support groups for people that have stomach cancer?
Q. I'm doing a project on stomach cancer and I need to know some stomach cancer support groups.
A. Stomach cancer is not that common these days. If I were to look into learning about stomach cancer I would be interested in the history as stomach cancer is much less common than it used to be. It's relationship to Vitamin B12 and different manners of smoking would also interest me. I've wondered whether chewing tobacco which used to be very common predisposed people to developing stomach cancer. Yahoo groups may have a group just for people with stomach cancer.
