Online support and message board forums for breast cancer survivors

For some breast cancer patients and survivors, trying to find a support group to network with other people in their shoes is necessary but scary. There is the fear of opening up to complete strangers or the inability to travel to a group meeting. There also may be confusion as to where to look to find a local support group.

An online support group can make taking that first step easier. The following are a list of some message boards and support groups to try.

Breast Cancer Support

Breastcancer.org discussion forums

The American Cancer Society's Cancer Survivor Network offers one for breast cancer survivors

Living Beyond Breast Cancer
