Do you know of a support group for partners of people with breast cancer


Do you know of a support group for partners of people with breast cancer?
My partner and I have been together 3 and a half years. Last Tuesday she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her surgery is Friday. It would be very helpful if I had a group to "talk" to. We are a lesbian couple, in the south. We are also biracial and her family would not appreciate me being there. Anyone have any ideas?

First, I so sorry for her diagnosis. I hope they caught it early. Check with her medical provider for support groups. The American Cancer Society can also help. Do you have a local PFLAG chapter? It's not for cancer, but sometimes just speaking with someone that is GLBT friendly might help. I live in Oklahoma, maybe the biggest "red" state there is, and we have several PFLAG groups state-wide. You can find a local group on PFLAG Nationals website. www.pflag.org Good luck to you both
