Y-ME Breast Cancer Organization

A not for profit organization that provides support for a person and their significant others facing a breast cancer diagnosis. This organization literally saved my life after it fell apart with the cancer diagnosis. Free resources include: 24 hour hotline (1800 221 2141), "matched" calls with other women with same type of concerns (age, diagnosis etc), wigs and prosthesis for financially challenged, support groups, national and regional breast cancer advocacy, educational teen program, quarterly newsletter , informational brochures, onsite library.

Y-ME of Illinois (headquartered in Chicago)

All of above resources plus trained professionals available to do personal prosthesis and wig fittings from Sharon Rose wig and prosthesis collection. "Sharon Rose lost her breast and hair, but not her spirit to breast cancer. We hope this wig/prosthesis helps so you don't have to face this disease alone. Your friends from Y-ME of Illinois."
