Support for You

Breast cancer can be scary and confusing, both for those diagnosed and for their friends and family. It’s important to have a strong support network to help with the physical and emotional demands of the disease. Remember, you are not alone. There are many support services available to assist you on this journey, including:

  • 1-877 GO KOMEN, a free breast care helpline offering professional support services to anyone with breast health and breast cancer concerns, including breast cancer patients and their families.
  • The Co-Survivor section of Komen’s national website, where friends and family members can share tips and advice, and read personal stories from others who have been in similar situations.

The Bosom Buddies is a group of survivors who are dedicated advocates and activists. Our mission is to help each other, newly diagnosed women and men and work for positive change in our communities to improve education, screening and treatment.  We meet every other Tuesday at the Cookeville Bank of Putnam County Financial Services Building on Jefferson Ave at 4:00.  All survivors are welcome to join us.  For more info contact info@komenuppercumberland.org.
