Breast Cancer Newly Diagnosed/Support Group
Finding Support in the early steps of your cancer journey
Receiving a breast cancer diagnosis, going through testing or surgery, obtaining a treatment plan of care, or already starting chemo or radiation, can be a complete disruption of life. This can be very stressful and overwhelming. This support group, led by Oncology Social Worker Jillian Cloutier, LMSW, (or an arranged one-on-one consultation appointment) provides an opportunity to discuss community resources, seeking and finding support within yourself and family, connecting with your medical providers, and learning about financial and/or medical resources.
