Friends After Diagnosis is a 501 (c) (3) organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of women diagnosed with cancer. It is our hope and vision to see that all women diagnosed with cancer and their loved ones have lives filled with wisdom, wellness, fellowship, and peace.
To that end, we offer support groups, wellness programs, personal services, events, and networking to help survivors feel connected and secure in a community that truly cares. Our inclusive community is diverse, welcoming all ages, stages of life, and belief systems without question.
July is Sarcoma Awareness Month — a time to shine a light on this rare and often overlooked group of cancers. Sarcoma can affect bones and soft tissues, and early detection is key. This month, let’s raise awareness, support those affected, and emphasize the importance of research, education, and regular checkups. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against sarcoma.
Feelings of isolation after a cancer diagnosis are common, but giving in to those feelings can keep the body from generating the healing energy it needs. In Friends After Diagnosis, survivors help each other, and it’s become an essential part of the cancer care community on the Treasure Coast.
