Dear Brenda

You mention wanting to help other cancer patients. I am getting my refresher Reach to Recovery next Saturday. Reach to Recovery is the
American Cancer Society's counseling program. We do telephone, in person and hospital visits of women who are newly diagnosed (primarily) but those who also just need to talk. Another way to help is to be trained to do the Look Good, Feel Better program. Call ACS to find out more.
