We are Surviving
This blog comes from our friend and ally Dr. Laura Carfang. Have you heard of the national non-profit, Survivingbreastcancer.org?. What started off as a personal blog page of a young breast cancer survivor, has grown into a virtual community providing education, support, and resources to those diagnosed with breast cancer from day one and beyond. They even have their own podcast “Breast Cancer Conversations”. The founder of surviving cancer.org talks about how it all began.

Finding Joy While Living with MBC
This week’s blog comes from our listener and SHARE’s MBC Helpline Volunteer, Dar Finkelstein. Dar discusses her search for Joy in the middle of a life filled with doctors, shots, pills and scans and offers some simple practices she has put in place to keep her focus on the feeling of Joy. Dar is a professional clown and runs not just one, but two Facebook groups devoted to this very subject: Making Our Best MBC Life and Choose to Live With Joy. She knows of what she speaks.
