Breast of Friends

Breast of Friends We are a group of Breast Cancer Survivors and Previvors from IA, IL & WI. We are a breast cancer support group. Welcome to Breast of Friends! Who are we?

We are here for you, no matter where you are in your breast cancer battle. Newly diagnosed or long-time survivor, we invite you to join us! We are improving the lives of women/men affected by breast cancer. We are a Breast Cancer Support Group of women/men from all walks of life who share the common bond of being breast cancer survivors. By having positive attitudes and sharing our experiences, Br

east of Friends members are devoted to spreading the word that, “There IS life after breast cancer and what a great life it is!”
We give in-person hugs and virtual hugs through emails and our page. Breast of Friends recognizes that the challenges women/men face are very different from each other with this disease. We are so glad you found us, and we are here to help. We meet the second Tuesday of each month by getting together for dinner, giving support and sharing life's experiences. The meeting location changes month to month as we tend to enjoy going to different restaurants. An e-mail is sent out each month for the location.

It’s with great sadness to share that our Coco lost her battle with cancer today. She was such an inspiration to all of us and a great friend to many! Please keep her family in your prayers.

We had another fun get together tonight for our monthly Breast of Friends dinner. We celebrated our May birthdays with cookie cake after dinner. Thanks Cathie Avenarius and Bonnie Bell for the dessert. We celebrated Mark Bodensteiner, Heather Henry and Ellen Boge Bigelow, along with Bonnie who was at the end of April. So much fun and lots of laughs. Mark left too soon to celebrate with dessert.
Next month we will meet at Jimmy's in East Dubuque on the 2nd Tuesday of June. Hope to see you all there.

We had a great time tonight at our monthly Breast of Friends dinner at Hangry Hobo in East Dubuque. The food was amazing. And even better was the Funnel Cake fries. They are to die for. If you haven't been to their place yet, be sure to go soon. You won't regret it. Yum. Piper was our server and she was so fun. Thanks Nick for opening such a great place in East Dubuque.
