Breast Cancer Forum?

[Kev332]

Hi Everyone.

I need some help. A family member has been diagnosed with Breast Cancer and we're doing all we can to help out in these early stages of the game. She is trying to get an appointment at Sloan and/or Dana Farber (she lives in the NY, CT area) for a second opinion since her current hospital does not have "experts", (in my opinion anyway).

But I'm wondering if there is/are forums such as ours, that is specific to breast cancer? Just thought someone might have heard of one. If so, I'd appreciate any info. I'm going to search online, but thought I'd post this too. I know how much this forum has helped me, so I'd like her to have somewhere to ask questions too...

Thanks in advanced,
Kevin

This site was very helpful to me when I had a scare last year.

Kevin,

I found this site helpful during my scare as a source of information. They have a discussion board but I haven't visited. Breast cancer is, unfortunatley, so widespread that many hospitals and communities have support groups as well.

There are also several relevant mailing lists hosted by the Association of Cancer Online Resources at this link, especially breast cancer and advances in breast cancer treatment.
