The Reach To Recoveryprogram matches trained, volunteer breast cancer survivors with those facing a breast cancer diagnosis to provide free one-on-one support. Volunteers are carefully selected and are fully adjusted to life after cancer. They talk with patients, giving them and their families an opportunity to express feelings, talk about fears and concerns, and ask questions. Volunteers offer understanding and support in a way that only another person touched by breast cancer can. Volunteers can provide support face to face, by phone, or by email.
