Pink-Link supports women currently being treated for Breast cancer
The Pink-Link Breast Cancer Support Network provides valuable community and support resources for women currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer. The minute you were diagnosed with Breast Cancer, you became a survivor! We want to help you establish a healthy survivorship during and following your treatment. We understand that the support you need goes beyond what your doctor, friends and family can provide. Through our online database, you can connect with other breast cancer survivors with your particular diagnosis, recommended treatment, family situation, and other important common links. Our online database of women affected by breast cancer creates an intimate and personal link between you and your contacts. This "mentor-patient" relationship provides the essential on-going support needed for healthy survivorship.
After becoming a Pink-Link member, you can find breast cancer survivors, who can help you better understand your breast cancer and the various options available to you. You can also find survivors who can give you practical advice on how to make your life easier while undergoing treatment. In addition to our innovative database, Pink-Link has other supportive services. Our founder, Vicki Tashman has been blogging about breast cancer for many years and continues to do so. We have many articles of interest relating to breast cancer, both current news items as well as commentary and opinion articles. Do you have questions about exercise, nutrition, skin care, lymphedema or holistic health? Search our "Ask the Expert" pages in a question/answer format and get tips that can help you throughout your treatment. It’s very healing to write about your journey. It’s also healing to read other people’s stories! Check out the “BC Stories” page to read posts from our members.
Pink-Link breast cancer support services are completely free and designed to give you the particular, targeted support you need from the comfort of your own home. The power of women helping other women will help you to face your breast cancer needs with increased knowledge and confidence.

“Doctors are only one part of the healing equation when you’re sick. Pink-Link gives breast cancer patients an easy way to meet the exact people they most want to talk to, women who have first-hand experience navigating their particular diagnosis, treatment and recovery issues. It helps them make more informed decisions, brings them comfort, & can even speed their healing.” ~ Dr. Scott Sale, MD
“I hope to be in contact with members who are going through what I did. Having been through it and survived to be happy and whole again, helps me feel like helping others who are as frightened as I was. It seems to be a trait that is common to survivors.” ~ Louise T., Trumball, Connecticut, Pink-Link member
“I want to say thank you for your website. I found a girl on your website in my area that was young like me. Because of our relationship we are now starting a support group for young breast cancer survivors in the Baton Rouge area. It has been a real need in this area. Because of your website we have made it happen.” ~ Shannon B., Baton Rouge, LA, Pink-Link member
“I do so enjoy your monthly newsletter, and have referred friends who have been diagnosed with breast cancer to your webpage. I also have been fortunate enough to have been selected as a mentor and was able to help a woman in Virginia get through her treatment. We are still in touch, and I'm sure we will be for a long time.” ~ Eleanor T., Monrovia, California, Pink-Link member
“Social support can be very important for breast cancer survivors as they recover from treatment. Providing access to mentors is part of Pink-Link’s mission. They connect survivors in a confidential, user-friendly manner. I’m proud to be a board member & recommend their website as an important patient resource.” ~Dr. Patricia Ganz, MD, UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center
“I am grateful for Pink-Link. The interaction with other breast cancer survivors has been the best therapy. I can keep up to date with the newest developments, and more importantly, it gives me hope for the future - thanks to Pink-Link!” ~ Anna G., Warner Robins, Georgia, Pink-Link member
“As a survivor struggling with my own issues, I think it's imperative and extremely helpful to have sites like Pink-Link to aid in our recovery and ongoing support.” ~ Mary Jo, Alamogordo, New Mexico, Pink-Link member
“Even when they’re healthy, women thrive on community, but this need is magnified when women are in crisis. Pink-Link helps breast cancer patients connect to one another and to survivors in a way that can dramatically assist in their healing, both physical and emotional.” ~ Dr. Kauser Ahmed, PhD, Staff Clinician, UCLA/Ted Mann Family Resource Center
