Facing breast reconstruction? Talking to others who have been through breast cancer and reconstruction themselves can make all the difference so please get in touch if you would like to talk to one of our registered Keeping Abreast Volunteers or to come along to a Support Group x
If you live in or near Stalham in Norfolk and you've been affected by breast cancer or reconstruction take a look at your diary to see if you're free on Thursday 20th August for the Keeping Abreast Stalham Workshop & Well-Being Day - places are free but must be booked in advance.
There's nothing like talking to someone who really gets it - who has first-hand experience of what you're going through. That's why our volunteers are so valuable - they have been through breast cancer and reconstruction themselves so can tell you what it's really like!
Health concerns can make us anxious so it's helpful to have a way to unwind. If you're feeling stressed make a note in your diary of our monthly #mindfulness sessions which take place on the first Tuesday of the month - next one on Tuesday 4th August. See poster for details x
