EXTENSIVE RESEARCH REVEALS THAT SUPPORT GROUPS INCREASE THE SURVIVAL OF THOSE EXPERIENCING A LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESS. THIS CONCEPT IS RELATIVELY NEW IN MONGOLIA AND AT THIS PRESENT TIME INFORMATION RESOURCES ARE LIMITED. CANCER CAN BE A VERY ISOLATING DISEASE PATICULARLY WHEN THERE IS LITTLE ACCESS TO INFORMATION.

PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL SUPPORT SERVICES ARE VITAL FOR THE CANCER PATIENT AND CAN SUPPORT THE PATIENTS WELL BEING, IMPROVE THEIR IMMUNE SYSTEM, DECREASE STRESS AND INFLUENCE THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF MANY CANCER PATIENTS.
