'Recovery is easier when you feel understood and supported.'
The Moving Beyond Cancer DIEP program fosters connection by:
Sharing real-life recovery experiences and practical tips
Offering an online support community
Bringing women together in person (tri-annually) where possible
Recovery is not something you need to navigate alone. Many people find that connecting with others and
having guided support makes a meaningful difference.
You may choose to engage with the Moving Beyond Cancer DIEP Program in a way that suits you, whether that’s:
Joining small group sessions
Booking one-on-one consultations
Attending our quarterly DIEP catch-ups
Connecting with others in the Moving Beyond Cancer DIEP Facebook community
Having access to the right support, at the right time, can help you feel more confident,
informed, and reassured throughout your recovery.

DIEP Community Catch Ups
It was both humbling and inspiring to hear the personal stories and lived experiences shared in the room.
The openness, strength, and mutual support shown by the women who attended reinforced just how
important these gatherings are. These evenings are designed to create a space for connection
and to help inform our developing education and rehabilitation program for women undergoing a
DIEP flap reconstruction.
