Local Sarcoma Support Groups

This website is a funded and supported by the Rare Cancer Alliance.

Sarcomas are rare cancers that occur in the bones and soft-tissues, of both adults and children.  The content of this website was created for sarcoma patients, worldwide, to help you find face-to-face support groups.  To find a group, in your geographic area, simply use the drop down menus to the right.  For example, to find all groups within the USA, just use the By Country drop-down menu and select United States.

Keep in mind, that we do not and cannot endorse or take responsibility for the services offered by these groups.  If we have had a personal contact with a particular group, we will state that in our Group Review menu to the right.

To join our online sarcoma support community, please click here --> Sarcoma Support Group Forums.  The following list is not complete.  If you have a sarcoma diagnosis that is not listed here, please use the Contact Us link above to let us know about it.

We hope to list every support group available that offers person to person support. If you have a group that is not listed here, please use the Submit Group link to let us know about it.  To start a group, or volunteer for a  group or for the online Sarcoma Support Group Forums, please use the Volunteer link.
