POLSON – A support group for anyone affected by cancer meets regularly from noon to 1 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church in Polson. The group gathers on the second and fourth Mondays of each month at the church, located at 301 16th Ave. East.
The group welcomes those recently diagnosed, those undergoing treatment, cancer survivors, and/or family members. The group’s aim is to provide a safe place for members to share, learn, support and encourage members after a cancer diagnosis and to conquer the fear in themselves and others. Confidentiality is practiced, anything spoken in the group stays with the group.
Gatherings are informal, allowing folks to drop-in when schedules and life permits. Folks can bring a brown bag lunch.
Cheerful Heart, an organization of volunteers who provide non-medical services for cancer patients in Lake County since 2002, sponsors the support group. Questions can be directed to the Cheerful Heart message line at 406-883-3070 or to support group leaders Coy Theobalt and Charlie Davis at 406-578-8078. Please leave the best time and day to receive a return call in the message. Check out the Cheerful Heart web site at www.cheerfulheart.org or email cheerfulheart@centurytel.net. Mailing address is Cheerful Heart, P.O. Box 688, Polson, MT 59860.
