Breast Cancer Toll-Free Telephone Support Group for Women Recently Diagnosed or in Treatment March 3, 2010

Offered via teleconference
DATE AND TIME: 1ST Wednesday of each month 8:00-9:00 PM (NY Time)
DESCRIPTION: Support Connection, Inc. announces a new toll-free monthly support group for women with breast cancer. The group will focus on the specific needs of women who have recently been diagnosed and are about to begin treatment or are currently in treatment. The telephone format allows women to participate from the comfort of their home, which can be helpful during treatment when fatigue and other issues may come into play. It also means women can participate regardless of where they live. Discussion will focus on topics related to living with breast cancer after diagnosis, as well as issues pertaining to treatment and post-treatment. Women will have the opportunity to connect with other survivors, share information and experiences, and gain support from one another. Participation is free but pre-registration is required. After registering in advance, participants call a special toll-free number on the evening of the group and are connected with one another and the facilitators via teleconference. For info or to register, call Support Connection at 914-962-6402, or toll-free at 800-532-4290.
