Below are a variety of programs that offer assistance for breast cancer patients:

Alliance in Reconstructive Surgery (AiRS) – Because restorative breast surgery is such a vital part of total physical and emotional healing for many breast cancer survivors, the Alliance in Reconstructive Surgery (AiRS) wants to educate women about their reconstruction options. Most breast cancer survivors who have had a complete or partial mastectomy are candidates for breast reconstruction. AiRS works in partnership with physicians in the United States, providing the resources necessary to make this surgery an option for women who would not otherwise have access to breast reconstruction. They partner with health care providers, health care centers and other groups to promote this service and teach other professionals and educators to carry on this work while supporting advances in health care research.
