A family member, 56 yrs female, was diagnosed with carcinoma left breast in 2001 and underwent a masectomy. what are some ways to help her recover?

Presuming that : The date is 2011, many cancer centers have survivor groups...It is those with similar experience that can reach patients better than others.
