- I understand that this voluntary support group is designed specifically for patients in treatment for cancer. We welcome patients who have had an active treatment within the last two months (chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, or immunotherapy). This group is not to offer medical advice. The group is facilitated by a licensed social worker. Physicians will not be in attendance.
- I understand that this program will be offered virtually to patients actively receiving treatment at Texas Oncology locations. An understanding of confidentiality between support group participants will be established, but any information that is shared within the group has been made public information within that group and Texas Oncology cannot guarantee the privacy or confidentiality of any disclosures.
- I understand that participation in the support group is available via online video or audio only. In order to participate with video function, participants will need access to a computer/device that has a camera, microphone, and internet access.
- I understand that space in each support group is limited. As such, we request your commitment to attend most (if not all) of the session dates.
- I understand that a Texas Oncology social worker will contact me by phone or secure email to gather additional information and provide me with the login information for the online platform.
- I understand that Texas Oncology’s online registration tool will store my name, email, and phone number securely.
San Antonio Area Support Groups
Currently all of our support groups are being held virtually to protect our patients and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our San Antonio area support groups bring patients in San Antonio and the surrounding area together to share their experiences and learn more about living with cancer.
The support groups are led by licensed social workers and focus on coping, stress management, mindfulness, and communication, all while fostering new relationships between patients. Participation in the group is completely voluntary and there is no cost for the program. Space is limited, and registration is required. Please register using the form on this page and a social worker will be in touch with more information about your support group.
Virtual Support Groups
Cancer care does not stop even during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our patients’ well-being is our priority and our social work team has organized the transition of Texas Oncology support groups to an online platform to continue supporting you during these uncertain times.
