There are a number of excellent books written about breast cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery. Many of these books can be found at the local library. Your division of the Cancer Society has a comprehensive reference library too and can provide lists of recommended reading. Some private breast clinics also have books their patients can borrow.
Many of the books available are from the USA, UK and Australia so you may want to take note of books by New Zealand women who have written about their experiences. Reading their stories may resonate better with your own journey and we have listed these first in a special section.
More than 30 breast cancer-related groups belong to the Breast Cancer Aotearoa Coalition. Find out more about what our member groups are up to on this page. If you want to know more about BCAC and our member groups, click here and subscribe to our e-newsletter.
In this section, we've compiled a list of the best websites, books, resources and organisations we think will help you on your journey through breast cancer.
We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of our supporters and sponsors who enable us to continue to help New Zealand women with breast cancer.
Without their help we wouldn't be able to provide support and information to those newly diagnosed with breast cancer, nor would we be able to continue our work to push for the best treatment and care for New Zealanders with breast cancer. Their contribution truly makes a difference and we thank them.
If you’d like to assist BCAC in its work to improve the lives of the thousands of New Zealanders with breast cancer each year, please make a donation.
