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.”
