Re: OT - Breast cancer list

[Guest guest]

, May I forward your email to a friend who is a breast cancer survivor? I

think she is on a great list.

OT - Breast cancer list

This is way off topic, but perhaps someone can be of help.

This list has helped me so much since I was diagnosed with diabetes. I

have a friend who is a breast cancer survivor thanks to a double

mastectomy and several rounds of chemo. She is not really into going

to face to face support groups, but a group similar to ours would be

wonderful for her. Now that she has been cancer-free for a while, she

appears to be having some delayed grieving for the loss of her breasts.

I try to be supportive but I know that the best people to help her are

people who have gone through it. Are any of you aware of such a list

that I could suggest to her? Thanks for any replies.

I just went to the YahoogGroups website and found 2 groups that may be helpful:

2 hotflash

This is a support group for ALL women about women's health issues, with an

emphasis on

perimenopause, menopause and other women's problems such as breast cancer,

ovarian cancer,

osteoporosis and more. We have a great time exchanging ideas and there can be a

lot of messages.

You are not alone. Welcome to the Breast Cancer Support Group on the Web.

and questions here. Doctors, nurses, breast cancer patients and people

Breast Cancer is a

I can't recommend a specific group but there are 230 groups listed under yahoo

groups under breast cancer. The most active and largest is breastcancer2. You

might suggest she give it a try. She could go through the list and see if there

are others. MSN, Google and others have groups so a search could be done. If you

want me to I can research it for you as research is my area of expertise. In

fact the mls listed in my email stands for Master of Library Science.
