Resource For Family and Friends
Breast Friends has developed several programs to help the patient by teaching family and friends what is important for her journey.

Resource For Co-workers
Co-workers can be a valuable source of support for the patient. Small but meaningful gestures can be of tremendous help for women going through a diagnosis of cancer. Sending a card of encouragement, providing a meal or just making a phone call. For more tips to show you care, contact our Breast Friends Office at 503.598.8048 or email mail@breastfriends.org.
