Supporting women whose lives have been touched by breast cancer



BCPals forums meet a need rarely found on other Breast Cancer sites. They are private support forums where women with breast cancer, or at genetic risk, can share their knowledge and experience of how they cope with the disease through diagnosis, treatment and living with breast cancer.

They are run by women with breast cancer for women with, or at high risk of, breast cancer.

We are a voluntary group trying to help others who are in similar situations to ourselves. The site is self regulating and has no direct health professional guidance.

Us - as seen by one of our members :


 For You

 You are a stranger
I never saw your face
You are my friend
I share your pain
In this new and scary place.

You are a stranger
I only know your name
You hold my hand
Share my waiting
Tell me we are just the same.

You are a stranger
I haven't heard your voice
You know my worries
Speak my language
When to cry and when rejoice.

You're not a stranger
Neighbour,sister friend
You're a woman
We're together
Right up to this journey's end.
