Just a small town Canadian dreamer... This started as the diary of a young woman's experience with breast cancer and continues 5 years later as the diary of a woman, like many other, who has decided to take her lemons and make lemonade. **If reading this blog for the purpose of learning about my breast cancer experience, PLEASE START AT THE OLDEST POST (October 2009) AND WORK YOUR WAY FORWARD**

ATTENTION ALL WOMEN!!

Above is a very important link.
There is a problem in some small towns right now in regards to the process in which one is diagnosed with breast cancer. I have written about it before, so I will just sum it up quickly.
The problem being, when a woman is told she has breast cancer, quite often she doesn't receive any other information on the process or disease until she reaches an oncologist (which can take a few months). This leaves the woman in a terrified state, reaching for answers through the internet (which is a BAD idea) and grasping at straws in the hopes of finding some information on the journey she is about to take. The problem is that too many answers on the internet are false. I have read so much crap out there!! So googling for answers can end up hindering the patient rather than helping.
There is a solution.
Above is a link to order yourself a FREE Breast Cancer Information Guide. This one is through the BCCA, but I assume every province has one. We just need to get the word out that this is available! All doctors and surgeons should know that when a patient is diagnosed, this is where they should be directed.
I have all of the material in this package, and it is all great! "The Breast Book" is awesome and has been a huge help to me.
So, if you or anyone you know has been recently diagnosed. PLEASE go to the above link and have this package sent ASAP. The questions WILL come rolling in, and you want to have the right answers at your fingertips!!
