Guest Top Ten List
Breast Cancer Sisterhood.com is on its way to becoming the definitive resource for breast cancer families--patients, survivors, women of recurrence, husbands and children--with original videos, stories, photos and Brenda's Blog. In addition to serving on the board of directors of a public company, Breast Cancer Sisterhood.com's CEO, founder and breast cancer survivor, Brenda Coffee, puts her journalist, photographer and filmmaker skills to good use. She is author of The Breast Cancer Sisterhood and Husbands and Heroes.
On why she picked these blogs: Most breast cancer blogs are personal diaries designed to keep friends and family posted about their progress. While it is comforting to know other women are experiencing the same thing, most offer little tangible, helpful information. Many are depressing, detailing their every ache, pain and fear. These are the best of the diaries and memoirs plus a touching blog by a breast cancer husband.

Suzette Lipscomb’s thoughtful and wise blog gives us pause to consider what’s important in life as she chronicles her second experience with breast cancer. I wish she had her own website because Everyday Health.com’s ads repeatedly take over the screen, just when you’re getting to the good part.
