Our Website~ Our Message Forum~ Our Programs~ Our Foundation, An Introduction to Us.

The first rule of being diagnosed with breast cancer is: Get Thee a Survivor! We have made that possible for you right here. This site is designed for every woman who has ever been touched by breast cancer. From Newly Diagnosed to Veteran, HOPE can be found here.

What is No Surrender all about? It is about empowerment, education, survival and hope. As survivors, we give you more than just the facts, we tell you what you need to know in order to fight and survive this disease while keeping your life as sane as possible in a world that has just been turned upside down.

This website covers everything you need to know. We have made it easy to navigate and you will find things your doctor never told you that are vital for the day to day fighting of this disease, and we take you beyond to a wonderful life after your treatments are finally over.

You are not alone. There are over two million women living with breast cancer today. You will find that the Sisterhood will get you through the toughest times when your doctor cannot. We have walked the path that you are on and we want to help you by showing you the way.

A visit to our interactive MESSAGE BOARD directly connects you with other women in various stages of breast cancer. Our collective experience covers every aspect of the disease. Simply click on the Message Board Link and you will be redirected to our live community. Signing up is easy and membership is free.

We are the No Surrender Sister Corps, and once you get to know us, you will discover that you have found the right place. Day or night, there is always someone who is online, ready to reach out and help you or spend some time chatting with you. Just jump in and say hi, we will take care of the rest!



How We are Different from other Sites

This is not a medical website. It is a real life survival guide by survivor for survivor. It is the reality of what you need to know for the day to day management of your life now, post diagnosis. Only another survivor can know what you need right now. That is why this is a group effort. We welcome input from all our members to better help us serve your needs.

Through this site, the Message Forum and even our Founder’s blog, you will find basic, solid information about breast cancer. We have taken off the "white coats" and put the information you need into language that is understandable. We know that the worst part of being diagnosed with breast cancer is all the unknowns and how powerless that makes you feel. We believe knowledge is power and an informed patient is a good patient who is her own best advocate.

You will learn about your diagnosis, cancer's basic stages, what your pathology report means, and all your options including choosing a doctor and surgery. Chemotherapy is clearly explained and de-coded so you will understand what your doctor is telling you and be able to make informed decisions.

Please check back often, because we are constantly updating research news which could potentially pertain to your care.

OUR FOUNDATION

We didn't just stop at a website. We have also build a non-profit foundation to expand our reach to women all over the world. Our Mission is to educate, empower, embrace and save lives. We have two main initiatives, the No Surrender Sister Corps and the Before Forty campaign. The Sister Corps reaches out across the nation to organize groups, offer local resources and be your hands-on contact to No Surrender. The Before Forty campaign's goal is to save the lives of young women, particularly African American Women through early screening. We seek to change the age of 40 as the age of a baseline mammogram, because we have lost too many young women who were diagnosed long before they ever reached 40. It is our endeavor to change federal mandates, insurance company practices and to get the word out to every young woman that she should get her baseline BEFORE 40!

Finally, we believe our cure is out there. Maybe it is in some underfunded research lab. We know our cure is not in a ribbon, or a frozen food or a pair of jeans. The No Surrender Breast Cancer Foundation's ultimate goal is fund the most promising research working on our cure so we can end breast cancer forever.


We are glad you found us. You are on the road to reclaiming your life again.
Remember to breathe. We made it through this. We'll show you how you can too.


And Above ALL- No Surrender!
