spanish speaking

My mother was just diagnost with BC. She does not speak any English but she is in need of a support group. Is any help out there? Thanks.

You know there are alot of women  (and family members) in the U.S. that speak Spanish or another language as a first language.  It would be GREAT to add a thread for English as a Second Language for anyone searching for a fellow BCer that speaks her/his native language.  I can only imagine the sense of isolation that a BC diagnosis must have when resources in your home tongue is limited.

What do you think moderators?

I think that's a fantastic idea, yellowrose.  It could go right in the "connecting with others who have things in common" forum.

girls Thanks for your help, Please let me know how to get help for my mother. She is really scare but does not want to talk to us,her kids,so She  is keeping everything inside. I tried the Komenspokane but they don't have a spanish speaking support group in the city.

I can speak a little spanish and if she wants to PM me, I would enjoy speaking with her (if she can put up with my incorrect verb tenses)
