"At my first cancer diagnosis, I thought I could handle it alone. I was wrong, depression and stress took an emotional toll on years of my life. At my second cancer diagnosis, I found the Center for Cancer Support and their Breast Cancer Support Group where I found support, companionship, and help to cope with the rollercoaster ride of a cancer diagnosis. I could not have done it without the group."
