From Pam Stephan, your Guide to Breast Cancer
I once worked in a 3-person office. After some time, both women developed breast cancer and the man came down with prostate cancer. It was a stressful office - but we didn't file for worker's comp. We all survived, and we all quit working there, too!

Vegas Firefighter Given Worker's Comp For Breast Cancer
Worker's comp is usually paid medical care for on-the-job injuries and other health issues. The worker accepts the medical benefits and in return, agrees not to sue their employer for damages or negligence. A female firefighter in Sin City was advised by her doctor that a job-related chemical may have caused her cancer, and she has been awarded post-treatment worker's comp. Do you think her case will set a precedent?

Breast Cancer Gave Me A Second Chance At Life
My personal story of life in survivorhood is a mix of family skeletons, untimely death, estrangement and reconciliation. In short, a quick peek into my life after breast cancer, and the gift it gave to me. You can send in your story, too!

What To Pack In Your Chemo Tote Bag
Right now, I have a family member in chemo. She doesn't have breast cancer, but I am providing support as best I can from two states away. She is talented with yarn projects of all kinds, and loves her iPad. No just sitting still for this girl! She packs her chemo tote bag carefully.
