Help Wanted!
HELP WANTED!
I am putting together a page of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) resources for the blog. Do you have a favorite site about MBC (or a general site that has a section for MBC)? Please post a link in the Comments and I’ll see if it can be included.
Sites can be:
- informational
- blogs
- forums/discussion boards
- (something I haven’t thought of)
If you have sites that are not in the USA and/or are not in English, please let me know about them, too! We are an international community!
Thanks so much for your help.

Thank you, Rupert. I do get Google alerts, but here I’m particularly interested in resources that real people find helpful or interesting.

Thanks very much, Suzanne. This is wonderful.
http://www.breastcancer.org is a great site for all things breast cancer, but the best is its discussion boards at http://community.breastcancer.org/ which covers every imaginable topic on cancer. If it doesn’t, you can start your own thread. And of course, they have discussion boards just for those with metastatic breast cancer.
Excellent, Eileen! Thanks so much!
