Hi ladies,
I have been asked a couple of times by people who are either newly disagnosed or are facing the possibility for recommendations for blogs of women sharing their BC stories. I know there are a handful of bloggers on here, but now that I'm looking I, of course, can't find them!

I'd like to start a list of them here so those people can easily find them. If you have one or know of a good one, share it with us!

Happy reading.

Twisty's blog is the only thing I've read about breast cancer that I can relate to at all.

I created the blog to keep my family and friends updated on my progress, especially for those afraid to call me for fear of "bothering" me.

But as I wrote and shared my stories, I hoped that others might learn that breast cancer doesn't have to take over your life, that you can lead a normal life (as if we were ever normal to begin with) even through treatment.

Anyway, for what it's worth, here is my blog:

I also found this website midway through treatment and have started writing 'my' story. I couldn't get enough of other women's stories after I was diagnosed...searching for commonality and hope. Breast Cancer Stories

As with Twink, it has been my way to keep interested people informed about my treatments, etc. without repeating the story 92 times (which is very boring). It has also helped me to see the progress I have made. Thanks, Jacque

It's in transition now... I still love blogging but my story has quieted down (and I obviously hope that it stays that way!!!) now that I'm 14 months post-diagnosis.

The subtitle of my blog is "Exploring the Intersection of Cancer and Creativity" and that's what I'm interested in blogging about.

A local news crew came to my house in June and did an "Inspired Living" piece about me and my blog.

If you go to my June 26 post you can click on the link to the TV segment.

I'm not a regular visitor to these boards, so my infrequent posts are sometimes late or out of context. I'm glad I found this thread today - I'm looking forward to visiting these links! 

My blog is "A rural woman's breast cancer journal" at http://ruralwomen.wordpress.com. When I was diagnosed, a friend asked if I would share my experience with other women, so I began a journal when I went to the Living Beyond Breast Cancer Retreat in December 2007, shortly after I finished radiation therapy.

I just started my blog this summer...... still learning how. It has very minimal to do with my BC story, and is about my professional travels, artistic aspirations, journeys and some lovely mundane day-to-day as a grandma!

arnica, glad you found the thread, as I'll enjoy reading some of the blogs above. TwirlGirl, took just a minute to pop in on your "Found Object" and am already delighted. Just LOVED the tassels..... from your mom, I think.

My blog was really a continuation of my longtime travel writings that I had just started to transfer online when my wife got diagnosed.  I will soon return to writing about travels, celebrity sightings and such, but my blog deals more with the perspective of a significant other/ husband as we found about cancer, went through surgery and cope with all the decisions and emotions.

My husband and I have a large family and work in a sizable office.  After each biopsy, Dr. Appointment, or surgery we were inundated with calls and emails.  My website started out as a way to inform family and friends of my condition but as it turned out it has been the most therapeutic thing I've done so far.  Forgive me in advice for my since of humor.  Laughter is what works for me.

Hi,

I started a blog this fall to share paintings I made about the two cancers I'm surviving (breast cancer and thyroid cancer)....I feel I'm not so good with words to express my journey;-)
