November 3, 2024 – Sulphur Springs, TX –
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but for many, breast cancer isn’t a topic relegated to a month. It is a fight, a reality, or a new diagnosis. For those women, a local breast cancer support group has been formed.
With the help of friends and breast cancer survivors, the Hopkins County Health Care Foundation has established a local breast cancer support group.
An organizational meeting was held on Oct. 29 at the Foundation office. The founding women toured the current and future In My Closet locations and discussed what the group needs to offer survivors and newly diagnosed women.
This group plans to provide support and information for those starting this journey. They want to be a sisterhood for the shared experience of breast cancer.
The group’s first meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, November 12 at 5:30 pm in the Medical Plaza conference room. The Medical Plaza (113 Airport Rd, Sulphur Springs) is the freestanding, three-story building on the southeast corner of CHRISTUS Mother Frances – Sulphur Springs. The conference room is on the first floor on the left.
The theme for the evening will be “thankful.” All breast cancer survivors and those beginning or amid a breast cancer journey are invited to attend. Also welcome to attend are male breast cancer patients and survivors and women with female-related cancers. This group wants to ensure that no one fights alone.
To stay informed about the breast cancer support group and other offerings, please follow the Hopkins County Health Care Foundation on Facebook or Instagram.
