Monthly Breast Cancer Support Group - December 19

Fore Her Breast Cancer Support Group is accomplishing the goals of founder Amy Walsh! The group was created a year ago to provide an environment for women to discuss their experiences, their fears, their concerns, and their needs while Fore Her offers resources. The group is open to anyone affected by breast cancer. Amy Walsh, founder of Fore Her, initially stated, “We would like to bring breast cancer patients and survivors together to talk about what everyone is going through, give advice, just listen and learn about more resources in the area that offer help and hope.”

The group continues to meet on the third Saturday of each month at the Coastal Branch Library in Santa Rosa Beach at 9:00am. Resource pamphlets and books, both autobiographic and self-help inspirational, are offered free of charge. Breast cancer patients share their stories of diagnosis with an empathetic audience. Treatments are discussed from surgery to radiation to chemotherapy to long-term medications. There are hugs and there are tears as supporting friendships are made.
