As we conquer the beast; you may wonder how you can help other going through the same thing? I've found chatting with other patients and helping guide them through the process helps quite a bit! But what would be an even bigger help is to find a cure; until then we can help make sure resources are in place to help patients! I'm listing a few web-sites I know of doing breast cancer advocacy so that if you'd like to get involved you may. They also are great sources of support! If you find some or have any comments about any please feel free to post!
