A diagnosis of breast cancer affects every woman differently. Coping mechanisms vary. Some women crave the comfort of their family; others may reach out to other breast cancer patients to feel less alone; some knit. Still others put pen to paper – or more accurately, fingers to keyboard.

Blogging one’s journey through breast cancer has become an incredible outlet for a growing number of breast cancer patients, serving as an ongoing diary of their days and nights battling the disease.
