Q Is there a breast cancer counselling centre in Malacca?

SP 30 April 2003

A This is information from the Breast Cancer Welfare Association (BCWA) in PJ. You can find their information in the Breast Health Info Centre at www.radiologymalaysia.org/breasthealth. There is no support group in Malacca but they have a member from there in case your aunty wishes to contact them for support or just to answer questions. You can also call them while your aunt is here in case she is doing her surgery in Kuala Lumpur/Petaling Jaya.
