HARRISBURG, PA, April 16, 2013 (Press-News.org) Ask anyone over the age of 18 and they will tell you they've been touched by cancer. It could be a family member, friend or perhaps even that very person.
Martin Kopitsky knows what cancer can do and know the pain of having to deal with it. Because of that, he decided to create Marty's List, a national and growing database of cancer support groups. The free service connects people who have a common bond of dealing with cancer.
"We have a list of groups in every state and more are being added every day as people find out about the website. There's no charge to list a group. Just contact us, give us the group information and we'll get it listed on the site," he said.
Mr. Kopitsky said he knows from personal experience the peace which comes from sharing, talking and listening to other people who are going through the tribulations which cancer brings.
"Talking with people who are having similar experiences helps us to not feel alone, feel supported and have a better understanding of the disease. This in turn helps us better cope with the fears and unknowns," he said.
Most people who've gone through cancer are willing to share their experience and offer support. Family and friends who watched someone go through cancer are also often willing to share and listen.
"The problem is finding the groups where there are people who want to share and listen. Sure, you can go and find someone who's been through it. But people like to be in groups. There's a feeling of security that comes from being in a group, especially when that group has a common bond," she said.
Mr. Kopitsky encourages hospitals, clinics, treatment centers and others who have cancer support groups to contact the website to be listed.
"We want to get the word out for you. We want to connect people who need support to the support you are willing to give," he said. "I know there are far more support groups than we have listed. We just need to know about them."
