Cancer Advocates & Resources
Pink Warrior Advocates
Breast Cancer Support Group
we fight together, as one, and as a community
filled with love and hope for one another.
Pink Warrior Advocates is focused on providing direct support to those who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. We believe in creating a sense of community of Advocates to guide our Warriors through their journeys. We act on what we have experienced in our own personal battles with breast cancer by providing resources, financial assistance, and most importantly, emotional support.
Alamo Breast Cancer Foundation

Alamo Breast Cancer Foundation (ABCF) launched its HELPLINE in 1994. The purpose of the HELPLINE is to give patients, their families and caregivers ongoing support and information.
The HELPLINE is staffed by trained volunteers who all have had a breast cancer experience and are now survivors wanting to help others. Our volunteers offer the following services:
-
Information on breast cancer and breast health
-
Emotional support for women and men with breast cancer as well as families and caregivers of those affected through referral to a specific breast cancer survivor with similar circumstances (type of cancer, type of treatment, age group)
-
Patient navigation to healthcare services for uninsured/under insured women and men — that is, (1) location of, and eligibility for, low-cost or free mammograms and other diagnostic tests available in South Texas and (2) referral to other healthcare services such as WINGS (Women Involved in Nurturing, Giving and Sharing), which funds treatment for the uninsured or under insured
-
Information on other community resources for breast cancer patients, for example, support groups and where to find wigs, scarves, prostheses, etc.
