Purpose The purpose of this exploratory, descriptive pilot study was to examine a specific cancer support group to gain insight into the members’ perceptions of 1) the factors within the group which promoted effective coping ; 2) the coping strategies actually used; and 3) the benefits of membership in the group. The study was designed to answer the following research questions: 1) As a result of being a member in the Exceptional Cancer Patient (ECaP) Group, what do members perceive happening within the group to facilitate their coping with cancer? 2) As a result of being a member of ECaP, what coping strategies do members use? 3) As a result of being a member of ECaP, which stated benefits of past members are ranked as important ?
