Cancer Patient Support Groups

At Houston Methodist, we understand that cancer takes an enormous toll on you, your family and caregivers. Sharing the struggles and successes with other people facing similar issues is often very helpful — even rewarding. We offer ongoing support groups at convenient locations throughout the city.

Breast Cancer Support Group

We help women and men at any stage of diagnosis and treatment understand how breast cancer affects them emotionally and spiritually, not just physically. Our mission is to ensure — through information, empowerment and peer support — that no one faces breast cancer alone. The group is led by a trained facilitator and offered at Houston Methodist Dr. Mary and Ron Neal Cancer locations around the Houston area.

• West – Second Wednesday of each month, 5:30-6:30 p.m. at Houston Methodist West Hospital, 18400 Katy Freeway, Houston TX 77094 in Suite 120. This group meets in person each month with an option for virtual attendance. For more information, please call Tammi Lewis at 832.522.8110.
