Thank you for being a part of our community! We are so glad you have joined us. 

'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 is always 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 attend these evenings reinforce just how important these gatherings are. These evenings are designed to create a space for connection and to help inform this education and rehabilitation program for women undergoing or about to undergo DIEP flap reconstruction.
