What Is Lend A Helping Hand?

The non-surgical modalities of treatment for breast cancer or gynecological cancer -chemotherapy and radiation- may leave the patient in the need of a 'helping hand'.

The usual chores of daily living become difficult, often impossible.  House cleaning, food preparation, transportation and similar services are a must for the health compromised patient.

Lend A Helping Hand relieves some of the stresses and demands of everyday life.
