Breast Cancer Discussion Group

Rayma Scalzo

Our next Breast Cancer Discussion Group meeting will be held on Thursday, April 28 from 10:00 a.m. to noon in the Capri Room at the Tuscany Clubhouse.

This month is a perfect time to come as Dr. Rich Shildt, Oncologist, will be present to answer any questions you may have. We are so fortunate to have him attend our meetings. Following the meeting, many of us go to lunch at Toscana’s and get to know each other better. We certainly would love to have you join us for that, too.

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, going through chemo or radiation, thinking about reconstruction or just need someone to talk with, 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.

A special gift may be waiting for you!

It is so important that we hear from any residents who have treatment pending as we have a wonderful pillow, made by the PebbleCreek Quilters that we would like to give to you. Ladies who have used the pillows say they are wonderful and offer so much comfort immediately following surgery or reconstruction. If you call us, we want you to know the conversation will be kept confidential. You do not have to become a member of our discussion group to receive one so please don’t miss out on this special gift. A special thanks to the quilters for making this gift possible.

For more information or to receive a pillow, please call Rayma at 935-1819 or email her at [email protected].
