breastfriends

Why is it so important to connect with others who "get it" during and after cancer treatment? Often, there is a sense of isolation and loneliness at this time. Supportive friends and family may be around, but they may not know the right things to say or what to do. Breast Friends has developed a wonderful program we call "Girls Nite Out." It serves to support sisterhood and we all need girlfriends! The monthly support groups are a time to share cancer journeys, interests and make new friends.

We all experience times of transition in our lives. Some are chosen and some are thrust upon us. It can be from a cancer diagnosis, or simply watching our kids grow up and move out. Sometimes divorce, loss of a loved one or choosing to retire can leave us feeling empty. Some transitions we see as positive but sometimes they feel negative. Often referred to as "the new normal," we find ourselves struggling with change rather than accepting it for what it is, simply a new direction.
