The Orcas Island Cancer Support Group was founded in July 2010 by Sue Foulk, a stage four cancer survivor, and Bogdan and Carol Kulminski, organizers of a cancer support group in San Diego.

They came together to form a group where people whose lives had been touched by cancer could come and share their feelings. It a no-cost, confidential group that provides a safe place to share for cancer patients and their families, friends or caretakers. The group meets at 5 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month at the Community Church.

“It is hard to describe or define the cancer support meetings,” says Carol. “Each month, there is a topic or discussion that touches the heart of the matter and we are left changed by the experience.”
