Join Support Saturdays: A Virtual Head and Neck Cancer Support Group on October 3
A head and neck cancer diagnosis can feel isolating. Treatment can change how you eat, speak, swallow, and even how you see yourself. That’s why talking with people who have been through it matters so much. On Saturday, October 3, HNC Support International invites patients and survivors to Support Saturdays, a free virtual head and neck cancer support group.

Patient-to-Patient Support
HNC Support International, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit built on one simple idea: people who have faced head and neck cancer are some of the best guides for those facing it now. Their motto says it well: “We who came before will do our best to assist those who follow after.”
All are welcome! On the first Saturday morning of every month, HNC patients and survivors gather, chat, share personal stories/experiences and gather helpful information from others.
They are of different ages, gender and race, and accompanied by family, caregivers, and/or friends. But they all have one thing in common – they or a family member have been diagnosed with Head & Neck Cancer (HNC). They are here to participate in the Head & Neck Patient Support Group at USC, to encourage and to be encouraged.
Additionally, many individuals from diverse medical and healing disciplines have taken time from their hectic schedules to join in. Doctor, Nurse, Speech Therapist, Dietitian, Journalist, Medical Office Specialist, Yoga Therapist, Research Scientist, Art Therapist, Medical Supply Vendor, Pharmacist, and Professor are just some of the “titles” that have joined our meetings as active participants.
Why Join a Head and Neck Cancer Support Group?
Peer support can help you:
- Feel less alone during and after treatment
- Get practical tips on side effects, nutrition, and recovery
- Build lasting connections with other survivors
- Find hope from people who are further along the road
Because the meeting is virtual, you can take part from home, with no travel needed.
