It's wonderful to know that SHARE is there for me if I should need its direct support in the future. SHARE is a wonderful organization that not only helps women with breast and ovarian cancer, they also support family and friends of women with breast and ovarian cancer. My family wouldn't have adjusted ...Read More

Shortly after I was diagnosed with stage one invasive breast cancer at age 34, I began attending support group meetings for young women with breast cancer at SHARE. The women I met allayed my fears, gave me tips on how to cope, encouraged me, and understood my experiences in a way that others couldn’t. ...Read More

After a second diagnosis of breast cancer in 8 years, I was facing another new and scary surgery. I had done lots of research in discussions with my surgeon and on the internet to understand the details of what was going to happen in the surgery from a clinical point of view, but I had some serious ...Read More

There’s nothing as healing as walking into a roomful of women who know exactly what you feel like because they’ve been there themselves. The camaraderie, kindness and understanding is like nothing I’ve discovered anywhere else. It’s like AA but for breast cancer survivors.

Calling SHARE was the single best thing I did for myself when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1993. Even though I had a loving family and wonderful friends, I felt terrified and alone in facing this crisis. A good friend urged me to contact SHARE, and I soon found myself in a support group ...Read More

My oncologist handed me a SHARE pamphlet and said, ‘Call these women. They're great.’ A few days later I got up the nerve to call the helpline. It was the first time I had spoken with another ovarian cancer survivor who was alive and doing well. She had gone through everything I was going through, ...Read More

SHARE's hotline has so much to offer a woman like me who has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, much more than any other group I have called. I have called several times and in each call I've made to the SHARE hotline, the survivor has given me a nugget of information that was new to me and useful.

After my discharge from the hospital, I was frightened. I felt as if I moved from the land of the healthy to the land of the sick. I knew I needed help. I found SHARE on the Internet. I called the Helpline and was informed of a support group in my neighborhood. I find the information and company ...Read More

I was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer three years ago, and I’ve lost friendships and even relationships with family since my diagnosis. People are really afraid of this disease, and they don’t want to talk about it. SHARE has been very helpful; I called their helpline and joined the telephone ...Read More

I was treated for breast cancer in 2007 and first came to SHARE a few years later because I wanted to give back and help other women manage the disease. But then last year, I learned that my cancer had metastasized to my liver, and I needed support from SHARE. I turned to SHARE’s Director of Metastatic ...Read More

What a wonderful event! I am still not quite sure how you have all managed to get all that information into a one hour event – it was so informative. All that attended were happy they did. Thank you for coming; it was a pleasure to have you.

I have had many employees come up to me, thanking me for having such a nice seminar. I really think that you were able to connect with our staff on a personal level, and to encourage them to seek preventative care. As long as we can help at least one person, we can definitely make a difference!!
