Support for you

Breast cancer can be scary and confusing, both for those diagnosed and for their friends and family. It’s important to have a strong support network to help with the physical and emotional demands of the disease. Remember, you are not alone. There are many support services available to assist you on this journey, including:

• 1-877 GO KOMEN, a free breast care helpline offering professional support services to anyone with breast health and breast cancer concerns, including breast cancer patients and their families.
• www.komen.org, the Komen national website, offers a wealth of support and information for those whose lives are touched by breast cancer
• The Co-Survivor section of Komen’s national website, where friends and family members can share tips and advice, and read personal stories from others who have been in similar situations.

If you or someone you know needs help obtaining a breast cancer screening and/or mammogram, please call Komen North Texas at 972-378-4808 so that we can provide you with local resources.
