Abstract
This research project has been such a growing experience for me. When I applied for my first grant in October of 2007, I had no idea that I would have gained so much from the opportunity to do undergraduate research. It has been a little over a year since I have started performing research in depth on my topic and it has been full of surprises, from both the actual process of research as well as the outcomes of my study. I have learned much about available support programs for cancer patients, the factors contributing to quality of life in patients battling cancer, and the effect family support plays on these patients.
