“What can I do?”

You’ve just found out that a loved one, friend, or colleague has been diagnosed with breast cancer. You may be wondering what you can do to help, and whether BCC has any services for you.

Although you can’t take someone else’s journey, you can share in that journey and provide invaluable support. Each family member, friend, or co-worker has unique gifts they can offer at this difficult and confusing time.

Breast Cancer Connections has a number of resources that can support you, and help you support the person you care about.
