Our Breast Cancer Discussion Group is pleased to have Dr. Lucas Nyabero join us at our October 27 meeting. It will be held in the Capri Room at Tuscany at 10:00 a.m.
Dr. Nyabero has a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from MCPHS University, Worcester. He is the C.E.O. of NewSpring Pharmacy, a compounding pharmacy in Avondale which specializes in customized medicine. Prior to his current position, he worked as a hospital pharmacist at Scottsdale Healthcare, Arizona Heart Hospital and as CEO of RxGems. Dr. Nyabero’s thorough knowledge of medications and his ability to communicate his knowledge to the public has made him a very popular guest speaker.
Following his presentation, we will take time to share experiences and knowledge with each other.
If you’ve found a breast lump or mass and don’t know what to do, please come. If you are facing possible surgery, recovering from surgery, thinking about reconstruction or just need someone to talk with, please come. If you are a long time survivor, we’d like to have you join us, 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 special pillow, made by the PebbleCreek Quilters, which we would like to give to you. The ladies who have used the pillows say they 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 wonderful gift. A special thanks to the quilters for making this gift possible.
For more information or to request a pillow, please call me, Rayma Scalzo, at 623-935-1819. Also, if you suspect a problem, don’t panic. Keep in mind that most breast lumps turn out to be cysts, swollen glandular tissue or nonmalignant tumors. After our meetings, many of the members gather at Toscana’s Grill for lunch and an opportunity to get to know each other better.
