Support services

If you, or someone you care about has been diagnosed with breast cancer, you’ll have many questions and concerns. We’re here to help. We offer support and information for people with cancer and their family, friends and caregivers. Our services are free and confidential, and many are available in multiple languages.

Cancer Information Service

Cancer can be difficult to understand and coping can be stressful. It can help to talk to someone you can trust to give you reliable information and compassionate support. Our Cancer Information Service is available to anyone touched by this disease – from people living with cancer, their loved ones and caregivers. We can also help you find practical resources such as transportation, wigs, prosthesis and support groups. Call us toll-free at 1-888-939-3333.
