RESOURCES FOR WOMEN WITH BREAST
CANCER
There
are numerous
websites devoted to
breast cancer
throughout the
Internet, but the
ones listed below
are reliable and
recognized as the
best online
resources for
patients diagnosed
with breast cancer
and their loved
ones. Please use the
Internet with
discretion when you
are looking up
information about
breast cancer. There
are many sites which
give false,
misleading and
frightening
information. The
ones I have listed
were personally
recommended to me by
my own physicians.

SUSAN G. KOMEN BREAST CANCER
FOUNDATION
WWW.BREASTCANCERINFO.COM
(800) 462-9273
One of the most
widely recognized and respected
organizations in the world for their
promotion of funding for research in
finding improved treatments and a cure
for breast cancer. This site includes an
excellent interactive section titled "Anatomy of Breast Cancer"
which
explains in a movie format and simple
layman's terms all phases of breast
cancer from diagnosis to surgery and
follow-up treatments. The site also
offers 24 hour support and advice as
well as one of the best online shopping
sources for pink ribbon clothing,
jewelry and gifts. The Susan G. Komen
Foundation has many corporate
sponsors throughout the year which
donate proceeds from sales of their
products to the foundation and there are
numerous "Race For The Cure" events
staged throughout the United States all
year long.
HONOR BREAST CANCER
AWARENESS MONTH!
October Is Breast Cancer Awareness
Month.
From The Susan G.
Komen Foundation:
Oncology nurses play a vital role in the
delivery of quality care for patients with
breast cancer. These important caregivers
not only administer life-saving chemotherapy
and supportive care drugs, but also educate
patients and help them cope with the
physical and emotional toll that a cancer
diagnosis and chemotherapy can take. Cancer patients depend on oncology nurses,
and they deliver!
Right now, we are facing
a dire shortage of qualified oncology
nurses. If we don't take immediate steps to
educate and train nurses to meet the
increasing need, in a few years we could
face nothing short of a crisis. Urge
Congress to support nursing programs!
