Cancer Warriors, Survivors and Patients
The Living with Cancer SA WhatsApp support group is a nationwide safe space dedicated to individuals who have been affected by cancer whether as survivors, patients, or warriors currently navigating their journey. This virtual community provides a private, supportive environment where members can share their experiences, express their concerns, and receive encouragement from others who truly understand what they are going through. It is a space built on empathy, trust, and solidarity, where no one needs to explain what it feels like to live with cancer because everyone in the group simply gets it. By connecting people across South Africa, the group fosters a sense of belonging and emotional strength, reminding every participant that they are not alone.
Family and Friends Group
The Living with Cancer SA Family and Friends Support Group is a dedicated WhatsApp community facilitated by a qualified psychologist who specialises in cancer-related trauma and emotional care. This safe, confidential space is designed specifically for the loved ones of those affected by cancer including spouses, partners, parents, siblings, children, and close friends. Supporting someone through a cancer journey can be overwhelming and emotionally taxing, and this group offers a vital outlet for sharing, learning, and healing. With professional guidance, participants can openly discuss their fears, frustrations, and feelings of helplessness while also gaining practical coping strategies and emotional insight. The group provides a compassionate environment where family and friends do not have to carry the burden alone and where their voices, questions, and needs are heard and validated.
We would like to encourage you to join our real-time patient-led cancer registry, share patient insights, read other testimonials, listen to our podcasts and connect with fellow cancer warriors and carers.
