Our Mission
DiepCjourney Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization providing education and resources to empower those affected by breast cancer with information to make an informed decision about all options for breast reconstruction after a mastectomy.
Description
Welcome to DiepCFoundation! This is your resource and support for all options for breast reconstruction after mastectomy. Whether you have been diagnosed with breast cancer, are at high risk of developing breast cancer and are facing mastectomy, you have support here through the Foundation. Real patients, real stories, and evidence based medicine are what you will find to help you make an informed decision when deciding if breast reconstruction is the next step in your own breast cancer journey.
Breast reconstruction is a very personal choice with many steps involved from planning, finding a successful, board certified plastic surgeon, knowing the risks of the surgery, finding your support through healing, and moving on with a healthy and purposeful life after breast cancer.
Not everyone chooses to have breast reconstruction but everyone deserves to be educated on all their options. It is a patient's right and DiepCjourney Foundation serves to provide that education and support.
Recognition
We are grateful to the surgeons who support our mission and invite you to join them in supporting the Foundation. You can find them on the Surgeons tab of our Foundation website here: https://www.diepcfoundation.org/plastic-surgeons/ We also recognize contributors and employees from corporations who donate via their Benevity Portal with matching funds from those corporations. The Foundation honors those patients and their family and friends who have donated to our organization. They are the heart and center of the work we do here. Our gift of education and resources are what drive the Foundation to continue this work each and every day. We hope you will join them. We need your help to continue providing them the gift of education and resources now. They continue to reach out to us daily. DiepCJourney Foundation wants to be there for them each and every day.
