In the Member Connection area of the magazine, Coscto introduces Brenda Coffee - a breast cancer survivor. In November 2009, she launched the Breast Cancer Sisterhood - which is a resource all about breast cancer. The article goes on to say that it was originally set up as a non-profit, but she decided to make it something more. She started the Survivorship Media Network, LLC, for families of patients. She has also co-authored two guide books, one that provides patient advice, and the other for husbands who are caregivers. The website is http://breastcancersisterhood.com - they get 15,000 visitors a month! Included on the website are around 100 videos, FAXs, experts, an award-winning blog, Retail Therapy, and links to other cancer-related sites. Take a minute and go to the website - I hope you'll find something useful there. Have a great day!
Hi Kara,
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the info from Costco's piece. I haven't seen it yet, but hope it helps us reach lots of breast cancer families. For any survivors who have children/teens, check out AMY'S BLOG on our site. Amy's 19, a college sophomore and writes from the voice of experience. She was 13 when her mom was diagnosed, and the next day, her dad left them and Amy became her mom's primary caregiver. Perhaps Judy's son would benefit from reading some of Amy's posts, especially one a few weeks ago on anger.
I look forward to following your blog & wish you all good things you summon into your life.
XOXOXO,
Brenda Coffee
