JUST DIAGNOSED?

Under certain situations after a breast cancer diagnosis, patients have the opportunity to consider total removal of a breast (mastectomy) or breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy).

Local breast cancer patients and survivors meet twice monthly for helpful discussions and speakers. These meetings are facilitated by two breast cancer survivors who consider it a privilege to share in each person's journey.
