Trident Medical Center offers support group for cancer patients

Trident Medical Center provides access to support groups for cancer patients to share their experiences and challenges.

Dr. Jeffrey Houlton, a Head and Neck Surgeon at Trident Medical Center, said head and neck cancer has a major impact on quality of life, affecting all five of a patient’s senses.

“These are rare cancers, you probably don’t have family members that have had this before, you probably don’t have friends that have had this before. But there’s a lot of people who have gone through head and neck cancer treatment.. and that’s a brotherhood, that’s a sisterhood,” Houlton said. “And there’s many generous patients who are willing and jumping at the opportunity to help you through your treatment.”
