Breast Cancer Support Group

Please join us at Uconn Health to engage with other women who have “been there” and understand the challenges that a breast cancer diagnosis brings into everyday life. Here, you can share stories, concerns, victories, and much more with other women who have also gone through it.

This group is intended for women under the age of 45 who have been diagnosed with non-metastatic breast cancer. We welcome those at any point in their cancer survivorship journey, whether in active treatment or years out of treatment.
