We are breast and ovarian cancer survivors and we're here to help you. We know what it's like to have early stage, recurrent, and metastatic disease. If you've been diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer -- or if you simply want to know more about these diseases -- we can help.
I came to SHARE to help women affected by breast or ovarian cancer over 15 years ago, when I was a three-year breast cancer survivor. What keeps me here is knowing that we can help women understand that they are not alone with these diseases. This lets me know I am making a difference in this world!

SHARE's mission is to create and sustain a supportive network and community of women affected by breast or ovarian cancer. SHARE brings these women and their families and friends together with others who have experienced breast or ovarian cancer, and provides participants with the opportunity to receive and exchange information, support, strength and hope.
SHARE's work focuses on empowerment, education and advocacy to bring about better health care, an improved quality of life, and a cure for these diseases.
After a second diagnosis of breast cancer in 8 years, I called the SHARE hotline to reach out for practical information from someone who had experienced this before. I felt very fortunate to have this service available at this difficult time in my life and have a deep affection for this organization. I hope that it prospers to help and support more women in the future.
