AFYC provides emotional support, information and hope that will help you take control of your life again. History AFYC was founded in August 2010 by a peruvian counselor who at age 31 was diagnosed with breast cancer, Level 2, in U.S. Far from her country she went through surgery, and therapies: chemo, radiation and hormone's. She also got a medical prognosis of infertility and possible recurrence. She met her husband days after that experience and she has now two children. She stayed in U.S for eleven years. After that hard time she specialized bringing emotional support to people who has a cancer diagnosis. Through the years: studying, researching and getting experience in dealing with different cases she got fully convinced that emotional support is very important for healing. She returned to Peru with her family, and with a dream: To work with peers who had a similar experience with cancer and to work with colleagues in order to provide "emotional support to heal", through AFYC. The association is actively working in Peru and after almost five years living there, she is actually back in USA. |
