Breast Cancer Support program
Introduction
Facing a diagnosis of breast cancer can be overwhelming and isolating. However, we
understand the importance of support in navigating this challenging journey. Our Breast Cancer
Support Program aims to provide a nurturing and empowering environment for individuals and
their families affected by breast cancer. Through our support groups, we offer a vital network of
understanding and empathy. These groups serve as a safe space where individuals can share
experiences, fears, and triumphs with others who truly understand. Led by trained facilitators,
our sessions focus on emotional support, practical advice, and fostering connections among
participants. In addition to our support groups, we provide access to resources that empower
individuals to make informed decisions about their healthcare. Whether you are newly
diagnosed, undergoing treatment, or in remission, our program is designed to meet you where
you are and offer personalized support tailored to your needs. We believe in the strength of
community and the power of shared experiences. In 2015, it accounted for approximately
570,000 deaths globally, highlighting its severity and widespread prevalence [1]. Annually, over
1.5 million women are diagnosed with breast cancer, constituting 25% of all female cancer cases
globally. In the United States alone, breast cancer represents 30% of new cancer cases among
women, amounting to an estimated 252,710 cases in 2017.
