Rayma Scalzo
The PebbleCreek Breast Cancer Support 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 that we can give you a special gift. It is a wonderful little heart pillow made by the PebbleCreek Quilters.
The pillows have been designed to bring comfort while recovering from surgery. The pillow 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 seatbelt so that there is no pressure on the breast following surgery.
Although we won’t have formal meetings during the summer months, there are a few of us who will be attending the Southwest Valley Bosom Buddies Breast Cancer Support Group. It is held monthly at the Marriott Town Place Suites, close to the Cancer Treatment Center of America. They usually have guest speakers and a sharing time too. Perhaps we can carpool.
For more information, 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. Remember everything is confidential. Rayma has facilitated the PC Breast Cancer Support Group for 21 years and is a survivor of 24 years. Through the years treatments and medications have improved a lot. Breast Cancer no longer 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 no alone so please remember that we are here for you.
