Other Resources:
- Army of Women: Dr Susan Love and Avon have teamed up to create a database of people to draw from for research studies. Also on a mission of eradication, they need women from all walks of life in all areas. Please consider signing up if you can. I am a member of the Army of Women Supporting Blogger Network.
- Asbestos.com: They contacted me with this important information. The Mesothelioma Center is an up-to-date resource for all mesothelioma (What is Mesothelioma?) issues ranging from mesothelioma statistics to diagnosis options. Doctors cannot clearly explain why some people develop breast cancer and others do not. Some doctors have found a higher level of incidence of breast cancer among women who tested positive for the presence of asbestos.
- LIVESTRONG: From their website -- We provide support to guide people through the cancer experience, bring them together to fight cancer—and work for a world in which our fight is no longer necessary.
- Navigating Cancer: Connect with others who have been there.
- Being Cancer: A cool website that serves as a hub for cancer blogs.
- Breastcancer.org : Discussion board full of helpful women who have been there and are willing and able to answer your questions. A word of caution though -- if you are like me, you will wander into sections called Palliative Care and read threads called Is it really important for me to die well? If you can't stay away from reading those threads, which WILL scare the the bejeebers out of you, then stay away entirely. Also, the whole thing really fell apart for me over the USPTF recommendations in 2009. The site really showed an extreme amount of bias then and let's just say it wasn't on the side of science. I've since deleted my account but to be fair, I found it really helpful during treatment.
- Breast Cancer Action: Organization that looks into issues that others don't. They have a Think Before You Pink campaign that is extremely eye opening.
- Breast Cancer Sisterhood: A site dedicated to supporting both the breast cancer patient and her family.
- Cancertreatment.net: From their description -- "a comphrehensive resource for information about treatment for different types of cancer. We strive to provide accurate information and pathways to treatment."
- Facing Cancer Together:
- Latest Breast Cancer: Provides access to the very latest news and research on hundreds of tests, procedures, drugs, complementary therapies and lifestyle options, all for free. In addition, subscribers (for a $35 yearly fee) can filter the data based on their pathology report or current situation so that they will only see the treatment options, news articles and research papers applicable to them.
- Mesothelioma - Mesothelioma Symptoms is an extensive database of information and resources for patients and their families to better understand the Symptoms of Mesothelioma and the various aspects of diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, as well as mesothelioma life expectancy.
- Metastatic Breast Cancer Network: An NFP advocacy group for women with Stage IV breast cancer.
- Metavivor: An NFP dedicated to support, awareness and advocacy for women with Stage IV breast cancer.
- National Breast Cancer Coalition: Whereas Komen is focused on support and curing, NBCC is focused on eradication. I went to a conference in 2010 and learned a lot.
- National Cancer Institute: Comprehensive and rational.
- Pink Ribbon Girls: An awesome local support group for young women. When you join, they have a database of people you can contact. Also, they do cool things like send you fancy birthday cards.
- Share the Little Things: A website for those with metastatic breast cancer. It has been my experience that those of us who don't have mets tend to look to those who do for reassurance. That's completely unfair and I'm so glad to see this site.
- Susan G Komen Foundation: Really needs no introduction.
- Young Survival Coalition: People love attending their meetings/conferences.
- The Pink Daisy Project isn’t raising money for research or awareness. Our goals are simple: to help young women cope with the hardships of breast cancer treatment by providing care and comfort.
