About TWC-D:
- TWC-Delmarva provides a full range of support programs for people with cancer and
their loved ones, offered in a comfortable, home-like setting, completely free of charge.
Services include on-going support groups for both cancer patients and their loved ones,
networking groups for people with specific types of cancer, educational workshops,
stress management sessions, and social gatherings…all with laughter, joy and hope.
- TWC-D's services are available to people with cancer and their loved ones no matter
what kind of cancer or where they are on their cancer journey. We are here for people
newly diagnosed, during and after treatment, through long-term survivorship or
advanced disease.
- We are solely supported by generous contributions from individuals, small businesses,
corporations, foundations, bequests and generous civic organizations. We exist
because of the generosity of our community, which makes our services possible.
Understanding TWC-D's services in cancer support, education and hope:
- Support for the emotional and social concerns through diagnosis, treatment, long-term
recovery, survivorship, and advanced disease.
- Education about what to expect with treatment and its side effects, how to cope and to
navigate difficult decisions that can often accompany cancer, and how to live well as a
survivor.
- Hope gained through being with others who are facing cancer survivorship together.
Examples of our Services:
Weekly support groups for people with cancer
Weekly support groups for caregivers
Networking groups (i.e. breast, lung & colon)
Short term Individual & family counseling
Education classes on cancer, treatment, & health care
