NEW! Los Angeles/Orange County Support Group

SandyinSoCal

For all Los Angeles and Orange County ladies: The Center for Restorative Breast Surgery in New Orleans is sponsoring a regional live web cast of their monthly support group meetings.  The meetings are of an educational nature, and are held the second Wednesday of each month--currently at my home in Torrance.  I have the list of the topics for 2009, and they will be of benefit to so many of us.  A friend in New Orleans who has been attending the meetings for a while speaks highly of them and says she has learned something valuable every month.   

Because the meetings will be broadcast live and New Orleans is two hours ahead of Los Angeles, we will begin viewing at 3:00 p.m. local time.  The goal is for us to be able to interact with the folks in NOLA during the meeting, and have relevant local experts to each topic join us at our own get-together. If you are interested, or know of someone who might be, please contact me at sandy keller01 at aol dot com.

The Center for Restorative Breast Surgery (CRBS) will host a special EnCourage Support Group meeting this month. Four women will tell their stories of different stages of breast cancer treatment and recovery: newly diagnosed, in treatment, post treatment, and survivor. From emotional ups and downs, to medication side effects, to caring for their families, to living with a changed body-every aspect of the journey will be discussed. Each guest patient will also have an opportunity to share their own personal story with the group.
