TLC Totes Program
The TLC Totes are designed to aid and comfort those newly diagnosed with breast cancer. Our TLC Totes are tote bags filled with information and answers to the common questions that come up when you are first faced with a breast cancer diagnosis. We have resources to assist with treatment decisions and recovery as well as various comfort items to help ease the challenges that a breast cancer diagnosis presents. Some of the items we put inside are Dr. Susan Love’s Breast Book, Chicken Soup for the Breast Cancer Survivor’s Soul, journal, socks, heart-shaped pillow, note cards, and much more.
It might be that the best part of our TLC Totes is not what’s inside but what you get when you receive your tote. That’s when you meet with one of The Breast Cancer Network’s Survivor Volunteers who presents you with your tote and is available to answer any questions you might have. Our Volunteers may not be professionally trained counselors but they have traveled on your road and they understand exactly how you feel because they have felt it too. We truly are a network of education and support and for many, it starts with a TLC Tote.
The TLC Totes Program is supported with funding from Pfizer, Inc.
