Site Map

Breast Cancer DIY was created by women with Breast Cancer, to empower, support, and provide information to all breast cancer survivors, regardless of gender or ethnic background.

Our mission is to compassionately support and serve those newly diagnosed, as well as those in treatment for breast cancer, their families, friends, and caregivers.

We strive to provide the best breast cancer information resources available to survivors, through their journey from diagnosis – treatment – and beyond.

Hi, I’m Marion, and this is Pico!

In August of 2010, I will be a 10 year survivor from 3 types of breast cancer (all stage 3) with lymph node involvement.  I was the facilitator for our local Breast Cancer Group (So. CA) for about 2 years, and then decided to do more one-on-one counseling of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients, referred to me by my surgeon, oncologist, and friends.  Now you are all going to be my friends, too!

This website was a dream of mine, and I’m glad you are here.  Please know that no questions are too stupid, no feelings that you are experiencing are new to this fight we have been waging.  I look forward to talking to all of you, and doing what I can to help you through your journey with surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation, and all the rest, plus getting on with your life when the treatments are done.  Best wishes to all of you, my “boob sisters” and “boob brothers” (we can’t forget the men who also have breast cancer, although they are in the minority of about 1% - they need our support, too).

I hope you benefit from the information and many links provided here.  These have helped me, and I hope they help you, too. So if you have a certain link or information you’d like to share, please contact us and we will try to include it here for others to see and learn from.  Thank you for visiting.

 "The purpose of life is not to be happy.
It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate,
to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
