Rayma Scalzo
The PC Breast Cancer Discussion Group will not be meeting in June, July and August but we are still here for you!
If you have been recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer and are needing a lumpectomy or mastectomy, please call prior to your treatment so we can give you a special gift. It is a wonderful little heart pillow made by the PebbleCreek Quilters. The pillow has been designed to bring comfort while recovering from surgery. It is placed underneath the arm where the surgery has taken place and is held in place by a piece of elastic. This relieves the pressure on the incision. Another use for the pillow is to place it under the car seat belt so that there is no pressure on the breast following surgery.
Through the years, treatments and medications have improved a lot. Breast Cancer seldomly has the same prognosis as it did years ago. The most important thing is discovering the cancer, getting it treated and going on with your life. During that journey it is so helpful to know you are not alone; so, please, remember that we are here for you.
Although we won’t have formal meetings during the summer months, we will get together for lunch. For notification of luncheon dates, to receive a pillow or for information about our group, please contact Rayma Scalzo at 623-935-1819 or email her at [email protected]. She would be happy to bring you a pillow or chat with you anytime. Rayma has facilitated the PC Breast Cancer Support Group for 24 years and is a survivor of 27 years.
