Hello everyone,

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that, in an effort to better support our TNBC community, we have partnered with CancerCare to provide you and your loved ones with telephone support services.

The TNBC Helpline is staffed by experienced oncology social workers who have been trained to understand the unique concerns of people affected by triple negative breast cancer.

In addition, the Helpline staff will assist callers in availing themselves of the various services CancerCare has to offer including, where appropriate, helping members apply for co-pay assistance, transportation and other social services.

All of us at the TNBC Foundation are excited to be able to offer this new service to you and hope that it serves you well.

Hayley for TNBC

Hi Everyone,

Minor correction to Hayley's post about the help line.  The hours of operation will actually be Monday-Thursday 9am - 7pm EST and Friday 9am to 5pm EST.  Please check it out and let us know if you have any suggestions on how to improve it. 
 
All my best,
Allison

How will the helpline work, is there a phone number that will be available or is this by email? And would you like us to use a particular format so folks like me won't ramble on and on?
