A diagnosis of cancer can be overwhelming. The Resource Guide for Breast Health and Healing is a compilation of resources gathered by the Maryland Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. It is designed to assist women with breast cancer, as well as their family and friends, to navigate the many available resources. The guide is not meant to be exhaustive; hopefully it will open doors to locating resources in your community. This Resource Guide provides information on every phase of breast cancer, from screening and early detection to treatment options and recovery from the disease. Following each section are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions as well as additional questions to consider asking your healthcare provider. The organizations in this guide provide a wide range of assistance from screening mammography to support after diagnosis. Please contact the organizations directly to request information and determine eligibility. If you are unable to receive assistance from these organizations, please contact the Grants and Education Manager at Komen Maryland. This will help us update the guide and provide accurate information. Additionally, if you offer a breast health service, or know of one not included in the guide, please call the office to ensure its inclusion in subsequent printings. Listings of organizations do not reflect endorsement or sponsorship of related products by the Maryland Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
