patients when requested by

a patient, a family member,

or a health-care profession-

al.

Visits are made in the
hospital, at home and by
telephone. By providing
information and encour-
agement, the volunteers
help women and their fam-
ilies to better understand
and cope with breast can-
cer.

Ye is valuable for the
breast cancer patient to be
able to see and talk with a
woman who has been
through a similar experi-
ence. “They know how |
feel and they understand
my fears and questions
because they have been
there. They are a very reas-
suring: resource,” said foan

like to think of myself as 2

a ‘bad? statistic.

selves find a lot of comfort
