Dr. Colleen Silva, director of Breast Health and professor of surgery at UTMB, commented on the importance of survivor support groups. “I think sharing your own experiences, asking questions about what to expect, expressing your fears or concerns with women who have been through it is very important and plays a vital role in developing personal resiliency and making it successfully through the entire treatment. Some patients have told me that being a part of this support group saved their lives,” Silva said.
