Review for DiepCFoundation.org, Duvall, WA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

DiepCFoundation has been an invaluable part of my journey with breast cancer. I happened upon them while looking through YouTube videos just trying to gather information to help me in my decision making. Everyone's experience with breast cancer is so different; type of cancer, stage, age, then you add on types of treatment plans, types of reconstruction, no reconstruction, availability of providers,..the list goes on and on and the confusion gets really difficult to navigate. DiepC has made wading through all those variables so much easier. The Facebook group is private and is a continual source of support and camaraderie; a place where you are safe to ask any question and never made to feel like it was silly. You can find so much helpful information from the interviews with medical specialists and various service providers as well as practical information like what you do and don't need to take with you to the hospital or what you may need to prepare for at home.

This is an organization with a huge heart! Although I did not have to experience the journey without my husband, so many journey members have had to navigate all this alone due to COVID restrictions at hospitals. Terri Coutee, founder of DiepC, along with many members have offered to connect via phone with individuals to be their "virtual support". I think that speaks volumes.

If you are unfortunate enough to experience breast cancer personally or know of someone who is, please share this valuable group with them.
