Alone, having just moved to a new city, I was incredibly scared when I found a lump in my left breast. On my way to work I saw a "Cancer Support" sign on an office building. Knowing I had no other support to speak of, I pulled in. When I timidly entered Breast Friends' office and explained my problem, they immediately gave me hugs all-around. They visited with me a bit to get to know my story, taking time out of their busy days. Finally, they arranged to go to every single one of my doctor appointments so I would not be alone. They took notes, asked good questions, and assured me that they'd stand by me whatever came. They came to my surgery and wrote me cards of encouragement. As it turned out, I didn't have cancer, but I found some amazing friends. I decided to volunteer with Breast Friends because they actually do things that help, like going to doctor appointment and giving hugs. Without them, an incredibly scary time in my life would have been unbearable. I'd recommend them. Liz

I absolutely LOVE Breast Friends and what they do! They are a fantastic non profit that helps women who get the awful disease of breast cancer (as 1 in 8 women do) and they show loving, caring and helpful support throughout the harsh uncertain battle these women face. The innovative idea the Becky Olson and Sharon Henifin had to start this incredible program is so desperately needed and appreciated. Both Becky and Sharon are Breast Cancer survivors and they know firsthand what they are talking about and teaching as they have lived through breast cancer and have come out shining examples on the other side! :) BREAST FRIENDS IN TIGARD OREGON IS LIFE CHANGING AND SO GREAT!

Thank you seems so inadequate in telling you how much I have appreciated your support over the last 6 months. Your words of encouragement, referrals and recommendations have carried me through this time. Blessings, Peggy

Thank you so much for being with me and supporting me with my project. Without people like you, I don't think that my chemo bags would have ever reached the point they are now. Thank you once again for everything you have helped me with and all the support. Your friend, Matt

Sometimes the best gifts are the ones we already have. You are truly a gift to my heart. when I find myself fading into the confines of these 4 walls, you reach out to me, snatch me by the heart strings and I once again feel the love of being alive and accepted ...and I look forward to another day. From the bottom of my heart...Thank you for everything you do for me and other cancer survivors. Love Gae

Pam W.- "Thriving Beyond Workshop" was a very helpful way of starting a new phase- learning how to merge the new normal with the old normal. Fine workshop to gain a sense of who you are and where you want to be.
