BREAST CANCER RESOURCE GUIDE OF CONNECTICUT AVAILABLE FREE OF CHARGEIn an effort to help answer some of the many questions women face when they are diagnosed with breast cancer, a group of advocates has compiled a first-of-its-kind resource book for Connecticut women. Susan Davis, president of the Connecticut Breast Cancer Coalition/Foundation, was a member of the Breast Health Advisory Committee along with Hilaire Campbell-Carrieri, Maria Gomes, Charnette Messe, Marilyn Moore and Evelyn Morgen. Barbara Puffer, president of Puffer Public Relations Strategies, was editorial and production manager and contributing author for the guide. Marty Mancuso was co-founder of the project. The Breast Cancer Resource Guide of Connecticut provides timely information, covering a comprehensive range of topics from the biology and nature of cancer cells to treatment options, symptom management, financial advice and support groups. It includes a thorough list of cancer services available across Connecticut. To receive a free copy of the resource guide, patients can call the UConn Health Center at 800-535-6232 or 860-679-7692. An on-line copy of the guide is now available at http://breastcancer.uchc.edu/ (link opens in new window). This guide will inform patients about the facts surrounding breast cancer. It covers very basic facts, and also covers more advanced information, so that patients can make informed decisions about breast cancer treatments and recovery. We encourage patients to use the guide as a tool, said Kristen Zarfos, M.D., a surgeon and breast cancer specialist at the UConn Health Center who served as medical director and co-founder of the project. | |||
