Calls to our toll-free helpline are answered by trained volunteers who can discuss issues with callers, offer referrals to resources, or match callers with another peer counselor with similar experiences.

Our post-mastectomy photo gallery has images of women after mastectomy and reconstruction. These photos were submitted by our members to help other women who need to make decisions about mastectomy and reconstruction. Our photos show all options after mastectomy including photos of all types of reconstruction as well as photos of no reconstruction on REAL women.
Passing of the Torch is an event that highlights the hereditary link between breast and ovarian cancer, honors cancer survivors and those at high risk, remembers those whose lives have been lost to cancer, and recognizes families that have been affected by cancer.
