It is a frightening and vulnerable time when someone is diagnosed with breast cancer – both for the patient as well as their family members.

How do you tell someone who cares about you how you're feeling, what your treatments have been like and what's going to happen next ... without having to repeat and relive each experience with each telling?

How do friends and family members know what to ask, what to say, or how often? They are scared and fearful they may say something that would upset their loved one ... so often they say nothing at all.

And what about newly-diagnosed women and men who are suddenly faced with a situation that they never imagined would happen to them?  Feeling isolated and alone is not uncommon.

That's why we created BreastCancerStories.com. Here you can share your story online so your loved ones can stay in touch and follow your progress.

Here's how it works:

• We will create a section of this website just for you, so you have your own web address that you can then share with your friends and family members.
• When you feel compelled to write a journal entry, poem, or thought (good or not-so-good), simply login to your area and upload it along with any photos you may want to include. A chapter directory within your area will provide links to each journal entry.
• Your story will include a guestbook so yoru loved ones can you leave messages of support.
• Your story will be part of a searchable index where new patients can look-up other patients by age, location, type of breast cancer and treatment and follow their story so they don't feel quite so alone.

* You may elect to NOT have your story linked from the index and keep it private between you and your family members.
