PLYMOUTH SUPPORT GROUP
We're delighted to announce that a new Keeping Abreast Plymouth Support Group has been established to help those considering, facing and going through breast reconstruction following a breast cancer diagnosis or the discovery of a hereditary breast cancer gene. The Support Group is also there to help those who have had breast reconstruction surgery and who feel that they would benefit from a support network.
All welcome!
For more information, contact Keeping Abreast Plymouth on 01752 431898 or KA HQ on 01603 819113 or email us at: info@keepingabreast.org.uk
And if you can't make a face-to-face Support Group or would rather receive support in another way, there are many other ways in which we can help you, from speaking to a registered KA Volunteer or joining our Online Support Group to watching real-life reconstruction videos.

HEREDITARY BREAST CANCER
As well as supporting women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and looking to have an immediate or delayed reconstruction, Keeping Abreast also supports those women looking to have elective reconstruction surgery due to the discovery of a breast cancer gene. Each Support Group has at least one Keeping Abreast Volunteer who has been through risk-reducing surgery and who will be happy to support you if you are facing the same.

WANT TO HELP?
We are always on the look-out for volunteers to join us to help run our Support Groups so that we can offer support to
more women considering, facing and undergoing breast reconstruction.
Ideally we are looking for some previous reconstruction patients who would be willing to talk to others about their
journeys, and also some individuals to help with the administrative side of things too!
If you are interested in finding out more, please contact us here.

About Us
Keeping Abreast was established in September 2007 by patients Anna Beckingham and Beverley Birritteri and Breast Reconstruction nurse specialist Ruth Harcourt. They recognised a great need for women, both newly diagnosed with breast cancer and facing the possibility of mastectomy, and also women further down the line who are also considering reconstructive surgery, to be able to meet and talk to other women who have been through similar experiences. This allows women make an informed choice about whether or not to proceed with breast reconstruction.
