Until There is a Cure… You Are Not Alone
In the many moments after diagnosis it will be important to remember that you are NOT alone. Women are diagnosed with cancer all over this country each and every day. Thousands of physicians, nurses, researchers, foundations, and individuals are working to heal, to cure and to eradicate this disease on behalf of each and every one of you. May you find some comfort in that reality.
Many things will be required of you as you fight this disease: You will be called upon to be strong, brave, organized, and focused. Whatever your individual circumstances are, you will need help. Breast Friends has created programs to meet the patient’s needs at different point in her journey.
Please note: Not all programs are available in all areas. Please contact your local Affiliate to inquire about program availability. If there is not an affiliate in your area, please call our national office at 1-888-386-8048

Services for Patients
Until There's a Cure... Find the support you need
Breast Friends has developed several programs or services to help you as you begin your journey. We believe that no woman should go through the cancer experience alone, and we know that often even our closest friends and family members are at a loss to really know how to help. Your emotional, physical and spiritual well-being are the foundation for the programs we have put together. Each patient is different and your needs will change over time. We hope you will find a continuum of support through these programs sustaining you in your journey.
