Reach for Recovery Cape Peninsula

Reach for Recovery Cape Peninsula REACH FOR RECOVERY Mrs Lasser visited South Africa in 1967 and Reach for Recovery was established shortly afterwards.

Reach for Recovery was started in 1952 in the USA when Mrs Terese Lasser, a mastectomy patient, realised that not enough was being done for those whose life had changed dramatically after breast cancer. She understood the importance of the role that personal support, by women who had experienced breast cancer, played in helping newly diagnosed women return to their previous life as quickly as poss

ible after their surgery. South Africa was one of the first countries to establish a similar programme to the one that was launched in America. This programme is now coordinated by the UICC (International Union Against Cancer) based in Geneva, and is known as Reach for Recovery International (RRI). Reach for Recovery is thus affiliated to Reach for Recovery International (RRI) which is a comprehensive non medical programme created to help women with breast cancer. It is a self help group based on the premise that former breast cancer patients, now physically and emotionally healthy can relate in a unique and positive way to new patients with breast cancer.
