Breast Friends: Part 2

Breast awareness month is the perfect time to remember that women with breast cancer need more than research and pink ribbons.  They need people.  In a time of crisis, it helps to reach out to others, especially to someone who has been there.  Which is partly why support groups exist.  I had no support group during cancer.  But I […]
