AFTER BREAST CANCER (ABC) PROGRAM

The YMCA of Middle Tennessee’s After Breast Cancer (ABC) Program was designed by survivors, for survivors, to provide education and healing for the mind, body and spirit after a breast cancer diagnosis.

“I had nowhere to talk about the emotional aspect of breast cancer with someone who understood. The ABC program gave me a safe place to talk about and process the emotional side of it”
