For the last day of breast cancer awareness month we wanted
to share some great advice for women who have undergone surgery for their
breast cancer. This is to seek out a breast cancer assistance programs to help
you in the next stage of your battle. Assistance programs offer useful services
that can help you connect with and adhere to recommended treatment such as chemotherapy.
A recent study found that when using an assistance program, 80% of participants
were able to get some or all of their needs met compared to 35% of those who
did seek out these services. While it has been shown that women nationwide have
problems finding services after surgery for breast cancer, seeking early
assistance can be the key to a full and successful recovery!
