Breast Cancer Support Group

Rayma Scalzo

We are pleased to once again have Dr. Rich Shildt, Oncologist, attend our December 15 meeting in the Sienna Room at the Tuscany Falls Clubhouse. This is a great opportunity for those recently diagnosed or currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer to ask questions.

One of the challenges our group faces is reaching residents before treatment. We have a wonderful pillow, provided by the PebbleCreek Quilters, which provides comfort while recovering from surgery. We also have access to the best resources to answer questions about breast cancer. It is so important that you get the right information as it is sometimes very misleading to look at the Internet, so if you or anyone you know has pending surgery please call Rayma at 623-935-1819 or email her at [email protected].

Our group consists of newly diagnosed and long term breast cancer survivors. We try to keep our meetings upbeat and we do laugh a lot as laughter is healing. We meet from 10:00 a.m. to noon. At the conclusion of each meeting we go to lunch at Toscana’s and get to know each other better. Hope you will join us.
