Check with the hospitals in your area. Some of them can offer all types of support groups. Some have trained personnel to deal with cancer patients. There are so many questions our Doctors don't answer, it's good to have a place to turn, where people have/are experiencing the same things we are.

You don't mention what type of cancer you have.
Some of the more common cancers (eg breast cancer) have specialised support groups.
