Self-help
The diagnosis of cancer often hits those affected and their relatives like a bolt from the blue. Self-help groups are an important point of contact, offering advice and support after the diagnosis, but also after hospitalization. Self-help groups offer the opportunity to exchange ideas and make contact with other people suffering from cancer. Experiences and problems are discussed informally at joint meetings. Those affected can learn from the experience of other sufferers and receive valuable information and support on how to take the next steps.
Our Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC) at the MHH works together with regional and national self-help groups. A "round table" is held annually with the self-help groups to exchange experiences and strengthen cooperation.
Please contact us if you are a representative of a self-help group and need more information. Phone: +49 511 532-3468 E-mail: Onkologisches.Zentrum@mh-hannover.de
