Seeking self-help/advocacy/support group in San Francisco

chelseasanfran

I'm seeking a local support group in San Francisco with women currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer, something ideally not institutionally affiliated and run. I would like to find a group that is a little more information and advocacy oriented - where we can help each other with decision support and treatment decisions, though also providing emotional support and support for lifestyle and complementary approaches - nutrition and supplements, exercise, mindfulness techniques and activities, fun, etc. 

As a holistic MD, I have been disappointed with how difficult it has been to get integrated information and care and feel very isolated in advocating for myself as a patient. My dx/details are under my first posting - Navigating Breast Cancer Treatment - MD as Patient Post I under the Stage I and II Breast Cancer Forum.

The discussion groups here are really great, but I'm looking for a community that's not just on-line and anonymous. Also, if there are any local women in my area who have or might be interested in starting such a group, please contact me privately.

Warmest Regards,

Chelsea
