Understanding that we can often learn much from the experiences of others, Atlanta Women's Specialists has established this online community for women to share their health experiences and receive support and information. This is a supportive place to discuss women's health, pregnancy and menopause.

TurningPoint Women’s Healthcare

Here’s a story that may ring true for you like it does for many of us.  A girlfriend was diagnosed with breast cancer almost 2 years ago. In the beginning, her friends spent a lot of time focusing on the cancer–what stage is the cancer?… is her cancer treatable?…is the cancer in remission? Without realizing it, they were ignoring the most important detail:  how is our friend coping?  It is easy to get wrapped up in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. It is so much more important to focus on the person who is dealing with this diagnosis.  Some of us learned this the hard way, unfortunately. We know better now.  And recently, we learned about a local facility that knows better, too!

 

TurningPoint Women’s Healthcare in Alpharetta is dedicated to the well-being of women who are dealing with breast cancer and its treatment effects. TurningPoint provides survivorship support for women in all stages and treatment phases of breast cancer. Several of their staff members are breast cancer survivors.

 

TurningPoint is a non-profit organization. Many of their educational and support programs are provided free of charge. There is a financial assistance program available to those that may need it. 

 

They currently provide the following services to Breast Cancer Survivors:

  • Physical Therapy
  • Exercise Consultation
  • Massage Therapy
  • Nutrition Services
  • Counseling

 

If you are currently dealing with breast cancer, have a loved one dealing with this disease, or would like to make a donation, visit their website at www.myturningpoint.org.
