Your Stories

Breast Cancer affects YOU personally first and foremost. Many women, who are just starting their journey, find solace hearing other women’s experiences. This page allows you to share your experience and knowledge so that others might benefit. As always, your confidentiality is important to us and if you are uncomfortable sharing your story here please feel free to call and share it with our Community Outreach Coordinator at 213-XRAY or simply fax it to 828-213-XFAX.
