Cancer, Reach To Recovery Program

Cancer - Reach for Recovery Program is a one-to-one support program, not a group. Volunteers make one-to-one visits with breast cancer patients, usually after surgery. Visits are generally made in the hospital, but can be done in the home setting. Women are matched as closely as possible in age, surgery type and if possible by treatment. All women receive an attractive make-up bag with literature, a breast prosthesis, exercise ball, exercise rope and the volunteer's follow up card. Follow up calls are usually made.

Each women receives a practical resource kit.
