The Lung Cancer Support Group at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center is designed specifically for patients who have been diagnosed with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (stage 1 and 2A). The group offers free, confidential support to help patients, their families and their friends. It is lead by a well-trained facilitator from the Wellness Community.
