Breasties For Life collaborates with dedicated organizations such as LAC Cares and the Dr. Coccia-Portugal Breast Care Centre to enhance breast cancer care and support.
During the initial screening process, patients are evaluated to determine their eligibility for treatment. This step is crucial for identifying those who may benefit from specific treatment options.
After screening, patients either enter breast cancer trials or receive assistance in securing funding for treatment at the Dr. Coccia-Portugal Breast Care Centre.
