Please share how breastcancer.org has impacted you....

When i was diagnosed with BC,my surgeon suggested this site,so i'd have something to reference and people to talk with that had gone or were going through what i was about to do.He said he wanted me to be well informed,even though no 2 of us are exactly alike.I've been here ever since and have learned a whole lot about what we all go through,how to handle it etc.I've cried with some,laughed with others,and had MANY questions answered,so it's a GOOD THING !!!!!

When I was dx'd I knew nothing about cancer, much less BC........... BCO has given me the ability to learn more about BC from other women, as well as connect with people going through the same thing (chemo, radiation, surgery) or with the same stage.  On my worst days I knew I could come here and read other stories and information and know that I'm not crazy, this is what happens during treatment or start a topic to vent, ask a question or share a story and the BCO Sisters respond everytime with support. 

Breastcancer.org has been a lifesaver to me. When I was first diagnosed, I went on other websites that scared me to death. This website gives me a feeling of belonging to a huge support group any time I need them. Thank you so much for being here!!

Our doctors may assure us that everything will return to "normal" after treatment but the fellow cancer warriors at Breastcancer.org provide sincere empathy and support that is crucial to emotional and physical healing.

BCO has been a great source of information during and after my treatment. I got better information on how to treat SEs from chemo from posts here than I did from my oncologist. I was able to offer good information on the radiation forum as well. And the mojo thread has made me realize that I am not alone and I need to take charge of my QOL.

It has also offered reassurance that my treatment plan in general was a good one for me.

 Thanks BCO!

BCO has been where I dump my fears, express my thoughts, and am able to be a part of the club.  Breast Cancer stinks, but these woman are absolutely incredible and have been my support whenever the "bad" things start coming into my mind.

1. I thought I was alone, until I found breastcancer.org.

2. When in doubt, go to breastcancer.org.

Both, heartfelt.

Thank you for being here. A million times, thank you.

I came here when first diagnosed and going through treatment.  I don't come as often now, but check in from time to time.  I've made some lasting friendships and learned that I am not alone.  This site is awesome!

Has any one had brest cancer spreadto their bones?Please help

I love the verity of threads and all the information. And it gives me a place where I can ask questions and not feel like an ideot.  I also am free to give support and possibly help someone who is going through where I've already been

There are so many decisions to make after you are diagnosed with breast cancer.  Because others have shared their stories, I have been prepared for each step.  During a time that is so out of control, it is so comforting to have some control and to know that you are not the only one experiencing this crazy disease.  

Breast cancer .org has saved my sanity throughout my cancer experience, without the members giving me knowledge I would have been in big trouble with my treatment and healing.

Information, information, information.  I had no idea even of what questions to ask my onc.  Since finding breastcancer.org 2 weeks ago I have spent many many hours reading the various forums.  I see my onc this Friday and have a list of questions I want answers to.  Thank you all for being there.

I'm one month into this diagnosis. I spend more time on breastcancer.org than doing anything else. Your real stories, advice and not just doctor talk give me solace. Thank you all so much!!
