SUPPORT
When your life is touched by breast cancer, you need support so you reach out to Breast Cancer Network of Strength. We are here for those who have a question about breast health, and for loved ones who aren’t quite sure what to say to the patient. We’re here for the patient who simply wants to speak with someone who has walked in her shoes.
There is something so comforting about talking to someone who has been there. While family and friends can be a wonderful support, speaking with other breast cancer survivors helps patients come to terms with their diagnosis and cope with the emotional concerns that may arise.
We hope you’ll take advantage of the YourShoes 24/7 Breast Cancer Support Center, with interpreters in more than 150 languages on the hotline. When you dial —even in the middle of the night—your call is answered by a trained peer counselor who is a breast cancer survivor. Online support is provided and peer counselors respond to questions and concerns promptly.

When my aunt passed away from Breast Cancer back in 1994, I was so UNAWARE of the disease and didnt think it could happen in my family! Ladies, I was wrong!
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, accounting for 1 in 4 cancers diagnosed in US women!
I will be working and volunteering with the Network of Strength to help other women and their families be aware and how they can help in fighting the struggle to survive and provide strength to get through their fight! Please donate!
