Stomach Cancer Support Groups
When it comes to Stomach Cancer Support Groups we have a number of different options for you.
And support is available for both patients and caregivers. Because you are not alone in your fight against stomach cancer.
Additionally, Hope For Stomach Cancer has two different groups for you to participate in.
We suggest trying both to discover which works best for you. Perhaps you’ll find both are equally helpful.

Hope's Official Facebook Group
We created a Facebook group called Stomach Cancer Support for patients, caregivers, and loved ones.
And it is a closed, private group for those facing stomach cancer currently. But it’s also for those that have faced it in the past.
In the group, you can share experiences in a safe environment. Plus you can ask questions, collaborate on meaningful programs, and so much more.
We highly encourage you to join our Facebook Group HERE.
