Breast Nurse Navigators
Whether it is you or a loved one who has been diagnosed, it is normal to
feel anxious, frightened and confused. Your Breast Health Navigator or
the Advance Practice Nurse at the
Cancer Resource Center can offer guidance on a host of community support and counseling services
tailored for breast cancer patients.
Cancer Resource Center
Our Cancer Resource Center located in the Hunt Cancer Center is a one-stop
destination for services designed to ease the burden of cancer diagnosis
and treatment for patients and loved ones. Most of the services are provided
free of charge.
Mastectomy/Breast Reconstruction Pre-Op Class
For women who are planning a mastectomy with or without breast reconstruction
to treat their breast cancer, Torrance Memorial offers a class to help
women prepare effectively for surgery, understand what to expect during
surgery and hospitalization, and be better prepared for post-discharge
care at home. The class is free but pre-registration is required. For
more information about the mastectomy/breast reconstruction pre-op class,
contact Evelyn Calip, RN at the
Cancer Resource Center at 310-517-7077.
Mastectomy/Breast Reconstruction Support Group
This support group helps and supports mastectomy/breast cancer reconstruction
patients. Come out and share stories as well as get to know other survivors
who had a mastectomy/breast reconstruction. You may bring one support
person with you. The program provides emotional and informational support.
