Hello,
My daughter-in-law is a breast cancer survivor. I am looking for a support group online for her and my son. They live in California. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you
@trevorhead, I'm in the process of updating all our online support groups, including this one. Almost all Mayo Clinic support groups are now held online via Zoom, or a hybrid of online and inperson. Your daughter-in-law is welcome to find a support group that suits her timezone. To find all listings:
1. Go to Events https://connect.mayoclinic.org/events/
2. Search for "breast cancer"
She is also welcome to join the supportive discussion boards any time 24/7. See
- Breast Cancer Support Group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/breast-cancer/
I had a mastectomy five years ago, but now, I am getting sharp pain all of a sudden in my breast and even in my non breast side. What could that be?
