Breast Friends has developed several programs to help the patient by teaching her family and friends what is important. We believe that no woman should go through the cancer experience alone, and we know that too often even the closest friends and family are at a loss to really know how to help. Her emotional, physical and spiritual well being are the foundation for the programs we have put together. Each patient is different and her needs will change over time. We hope you will find the inspiration you need to fully understand the role you will play in her healing.
Not all programs are available in all areas; please check with your local affiliate for availability.
Breast Friends has created a wonderful brochure that can be given to family and friends. When they offer to help and ask what they can can do, the brochure is a perfect tool for sharing ideas. The brochure is divided into two sections: Ideas from the Girls, and Intimate Partners.
This 22 minute DVD is the perfect tool for understanding the importance of support, how to offer support so it is not rejected, and the benefit to the patient. It is divided into different parts to help narrow the content to your specific needs. We encourage you to view all six parts with the patient so that she understands the role you will be playing in her life.
Understanding how to help someone going through breast cancer, ovarian cancer, or any other woman’s cancer is not easy. Unless you’ve been there before, you may be at a total loss as to how to help. We offer individual support either through one-on-one contact via phone, or in person, as well as support groups customized to meet the needs of our patients.
Breast Friends has developed, through the artistry of Jo Gefre, a series of humorous cards that our volunteers send to patients. If you know someone that could use a little laugh, please contact us and we will be happy to mail a card to them free of charge. (Donations accepted)
The cards are specific
