Local Women with Breast Cancer Can Join Telephone Support Group

Women fighting breast cancer can join a network of women battling the same, without leaving home.

Few people like travelling when they're feeling infirmed.

With this in mind, Adelphi University has created a new support group, so women with breast cancer don't have to leave Bayside, or even their living rooms.

A weekly telephone support group will begin on Monday, January 23, and will be held every consecutive Monday for 8 weeks, each time from noon to 1:30 p.m.

Along with other breast cancer survivors, those dialing in will have a social work facilitator on the conference call.

All those interested in registering can contact coordinator Sandi Kafenbaum, at 516-877-4314.
