• "Being a part of Cancer Support Community has given me an opportunity to talk openly about my cancer experience--to begin to heal, and figure out the impact of my life as a cancer survivor." - 42 year old woman



• "To receive the diagnosis of breast cancer is overwhelming and to have the opportunity to be with other cancer survivors is so worthwhile. I have learned how to improve quality of life, self-advocacy, stress reduction, and what other resources are available. In a group, we can all draw strength from each other." - 72 year old woman



• "I was diagnosed with breast cancer in April of 2006, and felt as though the bottom of my world had dropped out. Having the opportunity to connect with so many incredible women who have experienced what I have gone through has been such a wonderful, positive experience." - 57 year old woman



• "I am a two and half year cancer survivor who still needs the companionship and support of other women who have gone through cancer treatment. It is an emotional, spiritual, psychological and physical journey. It is so wonderful to be with women who are survivors who give me great hope that there is life." - 62 year old woman



• "Thank you for being there when I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I had so many
  questions and no place to turn." - 55 year old man



• "I have participated in numerous activities offered by Cancer Support Community and have
  benefited from them in many ways. When I was first told about the support group meetings,
  I arrived and was scared and determined not to say anything, but within moments I opened
  up and shared my feelings and finally felt understood. The friendship, kinship, and
  sisterhood I experienced helped me greatly in coping with my diagnosis of breast cancer
  and empowered me to heal emotionally.
  
  "The Mending in the Mountains Women's Cancer Retreat was a life-changing event for me.
  It gave me an opportunity to give back as much support to others as I had received. The event
  was inspiring, fun, and a wonderful opportunity to share and be accepted and loved for who I
  am, whether I have had cancer or not. The many educational programs, taught me tools I could
  use for survival in dealing with my cancer diagnosis.
  
  "I would highly recommend Cancer Support Community to anyone affected by a cancer
  diagnosis, whether they are newly diagnosed, living with a previous diagnosis or someone who
  cares about a cancer survivor." - 55 year old woman
