Kapolei Cancer Self Help Group
About Us

The Kapolei Cancer Self Help Group is dedicated to serving our community by providing self help to people who have had their lives touched by cancer.

Our first meeting was December 13, 2009. Cancer changes your life and those around you. Please join us as we support each other and share information. We try to answer your questions, point you in the right direction, and give you information on how to cope with deadly disease.   You can talk to others that have been in your shoes and understand the huge changes this makes in your life. Please join us.

You are not alone!


Aloha,  my name is Luella Windisch.  I was diagnosed with two sites of breast cancer in March of 2007, four months later I was also diagnosed with thyroid cancer.  Kala Holden is the co-founder.  She has battled breast cancer and polio. When talking with friends and family in Hawaii I found many folks whose lives have been changed by cancer.  With the traffic in Hawaii seemingly taking over our lives I  wanted  a support group closer to Ewa Beach and Kapolei. 
 
The purpose of this group is to be a support group for those who have been touched by cancer.  This include those who have recently been diagnosed with cancer, are still battling cancer, have ever had cancer or have a loved one with cancer.  It is not limited to a type of cancer.  If cancer has touched your life you are welcome to join us.  

Kapolei Cancer Self Help Group provides a safe place for men and women where their feelings are understood and accepted.  Research shows the positive effect of group participation on a person’s ability to cope. KCSHG will provide exposure to different ideas, viewpoints, and experiences that will help you manage your own fears plus those of your friends and family.  The group is led by volunteers who have experienced cancer and are helping others by offering support and information.  KCSHG has an adviser from the American Cancer Society and will manage the meetings using the ACS recommendations.   It is the only cancer help support group west of Aiea.  With the growing population in Kapolei and surrounding areas it is time to bring this service to those in need of support as they and their families cope with the changes in their lives.



Thank you to St. Nicholas Episcopal Church, Kapolei for your support
