Review for Living Beyond Breast Cancer, Haverford, PA, USA
I've been a participant in LBBC's conferences, teleconferences, and a volunteer on their helpline. They provide the best and newest information on treatment, diagnosis, psychsocial aspects of having breast cancer, and were the first to address the needs of those of us with late stage, or metastatic breast cancer. The staff is bright, qualified, committed, and infused with the mission of doing all that they can to help translate medical information to the lay public in a way that is understandable, useful, and that helps women become their own advocates in their breast cancer experiences.
