Living in the NOW

Living in the NOW is a specialized support group created specifically for patients with metastatic cancer, recognizing their unique needs and perspectives.

Living in the NOW is a specialized support group for people with metastatic cancer of any type. This program was set up because people dealing with metastatic cancer have different needs and worries compared to those who have non-metastatic cancer. The focus is on making the most of each day rather than solely focusing on treatment and recovery.

Who is this program for?

  • People with any type of metastatic cancer.
  • Open to all ages and genders.

What does the program offer?

  • Monthly meetings based on peer support.
  • A safe space to share experiences specific to living with metastatic cancer.
  • The opportunity to exchange coping techniques and strategies.
  • Support from others who truly understand the situation of someone living with metastatic cancer.
  • Expert facilitation from an experienced retired social worker.

How can people join the program?

  • Register online or call the front desk.
  • New participants will meet with a registration volunteer.
  • This meeting helps create a tailored wellness plan to address specific needs.

Important things to know

  • Hybrid format (participants can join in-person or virtually)
  • The program is currently only available in English. However, participants are welcome to participate in French.
  • Meetings occur once a month.
