Online Support Group
Connect with others who understand...
Our Online Support Group provides a welcoming and supportive space to connect with others who have experienced breast reconstruction.
It is a place to share experiences, ask questions, find reassurance and connect with people who understand some of the challenges you may be facing.
Whether you are considering reconstruction, preparing for surgery, recovering or living with the longer-term impact of treatment, you can access support from wherever you are.
Our support is also available to people considering breast reconstruction following a hereditary or genetic breast cancer risk. You do not need to have had breast cancer to access our support.
A supportive community, wherever you are.
Our online group allows you to:
- Connect with others with shared experiences
- Ask questions and share experiences
- Find reassurance and peer-led emotional support
- Access support when attending an in-person group is not possible
- Learn from the experiences of others
- Stay connected throughout different stages of your journey
The group is a private and supportive space, giving you the opportunity to connect with others in a way that feels comfortable for you.
Support when you need it
We know that breast reconstruction can be a long and changing journey. You may not need support all the time, but it can be reassuring to know that a community of people who understand is there when you do.
Our Online Support Group allows you to dip in and out of conversations and access peer support when it feels right for you.

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.
