Business Description
Breast Friends is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping
breast cancer patients and their friends and family overcome the
trauma of a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. We have numerous
programs that can be found on our website at www.breastfriends.com
Often, breast cancer patients, especially the newly diagnosed,
are in the greatest emotional pain, but are the least able to ask
for help. Breast Friends teaches the friends and family specific
ways to offer cancer patient support, helps them understand what
the patient is going through, and suggests useful cancer resources
for the patient and her family.
Addressing a woman's cancer is a sensitive issue. However, friends
often worry about not doing it "right." As a result,
time passes, and to avoid doing it "wrong" we don't do
anything at all. Then, more time passes, and by then we are too
embarrassed to pick up the phone and make the call. The message
of Breast Friends is that it's never too late to make contact and
provide useful and appreciated support to those we love who are
facing this terrible disease.
We accomplish this goal through two basic avenues:
- Public Speaking
- Cancer Survivor Support
Breast Friends has developed several different programs to help
assist patients and their friends and family members. Breast Friends
believes that no woman should go through the breast cancer experience
alone but unfortunately, it happens. We find that even with women
with friends and family in the area, don’t always receive
the kind of emotional, spiritual or physical support they need.
Our programs are designed to aid in making sure this doesn’t
happen.
