Through our work at the Cancer Support Community, we understand many of the challenges that face women during their breast cancer journey. Unfortunately, we also know that most women experience some form of distress due to their cancer. And many feel their emotions are misunderstood. As a survivor you know firsthand the impact a cancer diagnosis has on women with the disease and their families. To help improve the breast cancer experience, we need to understand more about the emotional and social needs of breast cancer survivors. Please consider joining us by sharing your experiences as part of a national movement of breast cancer survivors. Learn more and join at http://www.breastcancerregistry.org.

I found your blog while looking up resources for breast cancer patients, and thought you might be interested in a woman who's taken a pretty unique path in her own cancer battle. Meg Gaffney is a nurse, and when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, she decided to skip chemotherapy and radiation, and go right to a bilateral mastectomy. But when her plastic surgeon recommended a skin graft surgery to build up new nipples, she decided to incorporate art into her own personal healing process. For Meg, that means getting nipples tattooed onto her body instead of the graft surgery, and now -- after months of searching for an artist willing to take on her challenge -- she's about to get the work done! We're 8 parts into a documentary on Meg, which is featured on GrowingBolder.com. I'd love for you to check it out and let me know what you think! http://growingbolder.com/media/health/cancer/confronting-cancer-part-8-181742.html Meg is dynamic, creative, and completely committed to ridding the world of cancer, and her spirit is contagious. Thanks for your time, and best luck in your own journey! Katy Widrick Executive Producer, GrowingBolder.com katy@growingbolder.com 407-362-8237 Hello!
