our FALL '08 SUPPORT GROUP flier
Our
2008 support groups are sponsored in part by the: Long
Island 2 Day Walk to Fight Breast Cancer.
Reflections
from people who've attended our groups:
“I
met women who face the most difficult issues to deal with,
yet they do so with courage, bravery and even patience.”
“Sharing
my feelings with people who understand what I’m going
through and, at the same time, learning from their experiences,
has helped me to cope better with my illness.”
“The
support group has kept me calm, at ease and better able
to cope... It’s just nice to know that I can discuss
all my fears with other people. It helps a lot when you
know you’re not alone.”
