Breast Cancer Survivor - Sites And Blogs By Survivors of Breast Cancer
I'm never sure if it's just a weird coincidence - or if it's something about the experience and breast cancer journey that triggers this - but there are an awful lot of women who, like me, are driven to write about their experiences online.

Breast cancer survivor blogs and sites are becoming more and more common and they cover a fascinating range in their scope, their style and their intent.

Our site here is a mix of (hopefully) useful factual breast cancer information from Gordon and personal reflection or supportive thoughts from me. Some other blogs take a similar approach, others come at it from a different angle.

Here are a few of our favourites - if you know of others then please leave a comment below.

Jan Hasak has a wonderful site devoted to patient advocacy, lymphedema and living live fully as a breast cancer survivor.

Ann Silberman from Sacramento shows the quirky humour approach taken by many in her site called Breast Cancer? But Doctor ... I hate Pink !

Jeanette has supported thousands of women over many years on her wonderful Two Hands ... site - exploring her own breast cancer treatment experiences (and there have been lots of them ...) with humor and real insight. Sylvie Fortin does the same over at Breast Cancer Victory - exploring her feelings and giving helpful advice.

No doubt as you read this you know of others - maybe you write your own - maybe you're starting out on the big cancer roller coaster yourself and wondering about blogging or writing to help get you through?

Sites like ours and all those mentioned above do make a big difference and over the years I've had hundreds of emails and comments from grateful readers. If you're writing then keep it up - more power to your elbow. If you plan to start then please do - it's very worthwhile, both to yourself and to those who read your posts.

PS: Just noticed that this is our 100th post to this blog site. Wow, who would have thought it when the journey started and we first wrote four years ago - next target ... 200 of course.

Breast Cancer Travel Insurance
Getting travel insurance after breast cancer is sometimes difficult - as is getting any kind of insurance after breast cancer of course. Trying to find decent life asurance, PHI or work related policies and even simple travel health insurance can result in hours and hours spent on the phone or searching online.

One of our readers posted this as a question and it's a great one.
We'd love your help to build up a suggestion list for companies who can provide good quality and reasonable price breast cancer travel insurance policies.

There will be variation between countries of course, we realize that but please share whatever information you have on the subject.

In the UK we particularly like InsurePink - a company created by a breast cancer survivor and dedicated to providing a good service to those who have come through the breast cancer ordeal and want to get back to a normal life again. The founder of Insure Pink - Fiona Macrae persuaded Equity Insurance to help support the project and the plan is to cut premiums by around 50% for breast cancer survivors who want to travel.
