Going through cancer treatment is hard enough alone, but when you can go through it with other people who understand because they're going through it as well, it makes it that much easier. We have a support group at Connected Wellness of wonderful women who have been going through the experience of chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapies. There are subtle nuances that people go through during these treatments that no doctor talks to you about. They're not talking about your mental health and the impact that these treatments have. There are all different kinds of supplements and even ways to support the cells in your body while you're going through treatment, including medical cannabis and herbal plant medicines. So the Cantell Foundation funds the support group, so it is 100% free of charge to anyone who would like to join. It is in Boca Raton, Florida at our center, and we would love to have you join us and get the support of these wonderful women who are going through the same experiences that you may be having.
