Looking for Quotes from our Members!
Hi all-
We're looking for quotes about our community from YOU, our awesome members, to be featured on our main site! We want to feature words from our own members about what BCO means to you, how it's helped you, what you've gained from your time here. Positive experiences you've had, friends you've made, anyway that being here has benefited you.
Ideally, we'd like to include your user name alongside your quote, as we feel it might help new members feel more at ease when they join, seeing familiar names on the boards. But if you'd like to remain anonymous, that's ok too! Feel free to leave your thoughts here as a post, or pm us directly. Also, we'd love to hear from any and all members! Whether you've been here for years, or have just joined us today, we want to know what BCO means to you.
Thanks for being a part of this community, we appreciate each and every one of you!

I can't say enough about how helpful this website has been to me since I got that unwelcome phone call from my doctor back in January. All the practical information I've needed--how to interpret a pathology report, what to expect from radiation therapy, how to deal with my workplace--is right here.
These discussion boards have also been invaluable, with people sharing their own experiences, offering pragmatic suggestions, and just being there to provide support. And it's great that such a space exists for people to vent and express their anger and their fears in ways that they can't do in front of family and friends, knowing that the participants in these forums will understand exactly what they mean.
If, heaven forbid, any friends or co-workers receive a diagnosis of breast cancer, I will certainly refer them here for empathy and answers.

I never thought I'd get this diagnosis but now that I have, I'm so glad that I have this community to go to with all my "silly" thoughts and questions. They "get it" and that makes my heart smile. - Kelly E

Thanks to BC.Org, I have met some of the most remarkable women you will ever come across. I couldn't have got through this without them. We get together every year now, either in Canada or somewhere in the States for a week of fun and laughter
