Hi everyone
Starting in 2008 Breast Cancer Care will be providing Telephone Support Groups (TSGs) for those people with an increased risk of developing breast cancer because of a significant family history.
Family History TSGs will be staffed by genetic counsellors & BCC nurses. The groups will focus on different aspects of family history & the following 4 groups are planned:
* Gene Carriers who have had breast or ovarian cancer
* Living as a gene carrier, but have not had breast cancer
* Under 40 with a raised risk - never had breast cancer
* High risk - no gene identified/unable to be tested - never had breast cancer
If you would like to know more then please contact the helpline on 0808 800 6000
Best wishes
Ann
