Local Support Groups
Breast Cancer Network of Strength offers a monthly support group, at no charge, with a professional facilitator for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. No reservation is required.
Attending a support group can give you the opportunity to meet other women who have a special understanding of your experience, and may be a source of inspiration. It may be a way to connect with someone who has had a procedure or treatment that you are contemplating. You can share experiences, grieve and celebrate, while maintaining your privacy and choices about bringing new people into your life. Others who have lived through breast cancer can provide insight and validation missing from even the most loving relationships with family and friends.
