Caring Circle Breast Cancer Support Group
(January 3, 2012) – Women with breast cancer now have a local resource for support – through Saint Anthony’s Caring Circle Breast Cancer Support Group. Led by an experienced cancer care professional from Saint Anthony’s Cancer Center of Excellence, the Caring Circle support group offers women with breast cancer a chance to connect with other women about their experiences.
The group will meet on the third Tuesday of each month, with the first meeting set for Tuesday, January 17 at 6:30 p.m. in the Auditorium of Saint Clare’s Professional Building, 815 East Fifth Street in Alton.
“We welcome all women who have been touched by breast cancer – whether they are currently receiving treatment for breast cancer or are in remission,” says Billie Vincent, RN, Oncology Clinical Coordinator and facilitator for the support group. “This group will help to meet the emotional needs of women in all phases of adjustment to their breast cancer diagnosis.”
