About The Lymphoma Support Group of Ottawa (LSGO)

The LSGO helps you to be an active participant in your treatment and recovery in many ways, it:

  • Helps you to become educated about your cancer and your reactions to it;
  • Lets newly diagnosed patients and their partners, caregivers and families know that they are not alone. Members often provide their own perspectives on coping strategies to get through difficult times. They have personal experience about what it is like to undergo treatments and to live with lymphoma;
  • provides a safe, confidential place to discuss individual issues and concerns with people who are empathetic because they have faced similar challenges;
  • supports people through treatment and recovery by sharing personal experiences with one another;
  • identifies sources of information on lymphomas, treatments and complementary therapies, which other LSGO participants have found useful;
  • presents on-going education programs, which reflect the interests and concerns of LSGO participants;
  • offers a forum for discussing issues, concerns and suggestions for improving how lymphomas are treated and managed in the Ottawa area.
