Breast Cancer Discussion Group

Rayma Scalzo

Our next Breast Cancer Discussion Group will be held on Thursday, April 23 from 10:00 a.m. to noon in the Capri Room at the Tuscany Clubhouse. Following the meeting, many of us go to lunch at Toscana’s and get to know each other better.

Dr. Rich Shildt, Oncologist, will be present to answer any questions you may have. Plus, we are really lucky this month to also have his wife, Kitty Shildt, who is a registered dietician. As always, there will be sharing time so we can catch up on how things are going.

The purpose of our group is to provide support to residents through the sharing of common experiences and knowledge and to let you know you are not alone. If you are facing possible surgery, recovering from surgery, thinking about reconstruction or just need someone to talk to, please consider joining us. If you are a long term survivor, we’d like to have you join us at our meetings, too. Your experience and knowledge can help newly diagnosed members get through their treatment. You may also learn a few things along the way that you might find helpful.

For more information, please call me at 623-935-1819 or email me at [email protected]. If you have just been diagnosed and have surgery pending, please be sure to contact me ASAP. I have a wonderful gift that will give you comfort following surgery.

Hope to see you at our meeting! Spouses or significant others are encouraged to attend, too. We do ask that you arrive promptly so that you can benefit fully from their expertise.
