From Pam Stephan, your Guide to Breast Cancer
There are a lot of misconceptions about breast cancer and how the disease and treatments affect survivors. Sometimes, despite all our efforts to educate and raise awareness, ignorance and fear results in discrimination.

Discrimination Against Breast Cancer Survivors
Recently, metastatic breast cancer patients have been having a hard time - but not just with disease or treatment. Patients and survivors have been kicked off airplanes, denied a lease, lost custody of their children. We have rights - no matter what our diagnosis may be.

Have you ever been discriminated against because of breast cancer? Please leave a comment.


Know Your Needles - Some Butterflies Bite!
Butterflies come in pretty colors, but when they carry a needle, you might not think they are so attractive. If you've ever had blood drawn or an IV placed in a vein before surgery, you've met these butterflies. Now learn to cope with their bite.

Understanding Your CBC
When you're in treatment, you get stuck with needles all the time. You may start to think of your blood nurses as vampires - but they really aren't! Your blood sample gets tested carefully, and the results are important for your health.

Summer and Breast Cancer - Get Ready
School year is coming to a close and many families are planning vacations. You don't have to sit on the sidelines, if you're in treatment, but you do have to prepare yourself. Pack carefully and go have a good, healthy time!
