Jim Ward (Private): 4:40 PM: HI Rick — Does AnCan sponsor a colorectal cancer support group? I checked the list of groups on AnCan.org, but missed it if there is one. Thx!

Ancan – rick (to Jim Ward): 4:43 PM: we are working on it, and we have been trying to establish for some time. But not yet ….. WE do have the Speaking Freely group and the Caregivers Group that are pan-cancer. I do know a number of resources for colorectal. We can discuss offline.

Jim Ward (Private): 4:48 PM: Sounds good, Rick. Someone I know has colon cancer (largely under control). She might well benefit from the Speaking Freely group until the colon group gets set up. Thank you! Except Speaking Freely is just for men, I think! Well, will look forward to discussing off-line.
