Share your favorite breast cancer blog, article, or link!

Every once in a while I wonder how to make this blog more relevant. I have been blogging for 18 months now, when I was in treatment it was almost a full time job. Now that I have a full time job, it's more of a hobby.

I feel like I used to find great stuff via web searches, now everything looks the same to me. I loved having contributors, but nobody writes for free forever for someone else's blog.

I still believe there is a future out there in a electronic news site for women with breast cancer. I noticed a really snazzy site called "The Fix" for people with addiction. Maybe someday Loop can be like that. Perhaps someone else will do it, but I still believe in having a publication of some sort that covers all the breast cancer charities, activities, and stories out there.

We also have an amazing archive of stories...and I promise to work more on that in the future. They are listed on the "Best of Loop" page.

So my email is joinourloop@gmail.com. Feel free to send your favorite blog, website, or even an article.

Cheers!

Great blog for breast cancer research news

I really like this blog I just found.

Parsley is the "good for BC" ingredient of the week

 Sometimes I wish someone would just go out and buy me all the cancer fighting foods and put them in my fridge. Still parsley is ok, and it counters garlic breath!

It's a funny time of year here in the Northeast. Still cold and wet. But this Sunday pink will be in full bloom.
I know Twin Cities Komen has it's walk on Sunday at the Mall of America. (I went back when it was at Southdale.)
Here is a link to another walk in Lockport, N.Y.
