Courage to Conquer Cancer™ offers post-surgical supplies, patient education and flowers to patients who require breast surgery (mastectomy and/or lumpectomy requiring drain management). Patients within the 16-county East Tennessee region are eligible. See the map below for eligible counties. Patients outside of the region may be ineligible due to limited funding.
This program is funded through donations, grants and other sources. The program provides care packages that include post-surgical and transition-to-home supplies, patient-recommended items for recovery and future treatment. Breast cancer educational information is included to foster proactive and informed cancer care decisions in collaboration with health care providers.
The post-surgical recovery care package helps patients heal more comfortably after breast surgery. The package includes:
- Mastectomy Recovery Tee (with 4 internal drain management pockets to secure drain bulbs)
- 1-2 Axilla pillow(s) per package (post-op pillows relieve pressure at sensitive surgical areas)
- Breast cancer patient educational materials
- Drain management aprons with pockets (donated by Your Pink Sisters)
- Additional comfort-care items
